Hi Cody, 
     I hope everything is going well. I have a question to ask you. We were talking about this last night during a class at church that I am taking and  . . . I thought maybe you would know the answer because none of us really could explain it.
     The question is, If God COMPLETELY knows the future. How do we have free will? Also what are the verses that would back this up? This was just a question that was asked during conversation, but none of us really knew the answer. I also think it is a question for thought as well.

Thanks for your help,

Heather

      Thanks for the question, Heather.  Your question assumes that we must have "free will." But, if by "free will" you mean literal autonomy, I would simply ask that you start by finding Bible verses that establish that humans truly have "free will" in a libertarian sense. I would argue that the Bible denies this and in fact suggests that humans are bound in slavery to sin and Satan.  2Tim. 2:26, in fact, describes the situation of a lost person (someone who hasn’t been born again through faith in Jesus Christ) as one who has be captured by Satan to do his will. Add verses that describe the unsaved as “in slavery”, “blind”, “living in darkness”, being “led astray”, etc . . . there is little question in my mind that humans in general have no "free will" in the way you are thinking. Their wills are being controlled by sin and Satan. 
     When the Bible does describe freedom, it doesn't describe it in terms of libertarianism or self-autonomy. To be “set free” means to be freed from slavery to sin and Satan so that we can be "free" to serve the will of God. Romans 6 talks about being set free from sin so that we can become slaves of righteousness and slaves of God.
     In the end, the concept of libertarian free will, can be found all over the literature of Western philosophy, but it cannot be found in the Bible. On the other hand, the concept of God's omniscience (that He perfectly and completely knows the past, present and future) and sovereignty (that He has perfectly and completely planned and rules over the past, present and future), is easily and plentifully found in the Bible. We must be very careful that in our zeal to hold on to Western philosophical values, that we not sacrifice God's eternal truth. There are those doing so now on this very issue with a heretical doctrine called "open theism". Proponents of this view, in an effort to preserve and defend "free will" at all costs are sacrificing the omniscience of God by suggesting that God doesn't, in fact, know the future.  I, for one, think that's far too high a price to pay to hold on to a notion as Biblically indefensible and as philosophically problematic as "free will."

     As an extra resource here for all of you, I’m adding a great little lecture from Bruce Ware on this topic.  He describes well the “compatiblist view” of freedom that I think is much more thoroughly Biblical.
