Existential questions

Why did God create us with a free will and not as choiceless robots? So as to show His omnipotence by allowing us to choose Him. It is more impressive if a politician us elected rather than given a walkover.

How then can free will and predestination coexist? We may have free will, but God in His omnipotence has understood what choice we are going to make, hence the predestination in His perfect will.

Omnipotence cannot exist in human hands, as they are imperfect; omnipotence must remain outside the knowledge of Man and only within the knowledge of God. It is only appreciable from God's point-of-view. We can't grasp the coexistence of free will and predestination; we'll only get it when we meet God and share His knowledge.

We won't even ask, as a question is born from an absence of knowledge; as we will be unaware of any knowledge vacuum we had, these questions that so dog us now will not transpire.
