Question
How can a person be free to choose, with full will in selecting his good and bad deeds, and be held accountable by God for them, while they have been written down by God since eternity?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is by God's will and prior intention; otherwise, He would not deserve to be a God. However, this does not affect a person's choice and will in selecting what they want. The first pertains to the attribute of the Lord, and the second to the attribute of the servant, and they are different. And God knows best.
