free will vs. determinism is a matter of perspective. I believe in free will & determinism. I believe that God does not view what happens in time linearly because He exists beyond the boundaries of time (His creation) and therefor is not limited by it. we escape the limitations of time when our earthly body dies and our spirit exists apart from time. proof of determinism- death. proof of free will- you're not dead, yet. "I'm not dead, yet!"
