>Satan has no power over mortal minds and hearts. Just temptation. Judas betraying jesus was God's will because it had to happen in order for the sacrifice to occur.
It was God's will in the sense that it was a part of his plan, but it doesn't mean that he approves of the action. After all, Jesus himself said Judas would be in hell and the bible says Satan entered into him. So while it may be "God's will" in the sense that it's part of his plan, it's not the kind of will I want to take part in. I'd rather be one of the elect.
>Have you reconciled the fact that God knows everything you were or are ever going to do down to the plancksecond? Yet you have free will?
Yes, I know God knows what I will do, but it doesn't mean I don't have a choice. Have you read slaughterhouse 5? There's a bit in there about 4 dimensional beings who see human lives not as though they are stuck in time, but the entirety of their lives playing out, as if they're viewing a mountain range of flesh and action across time. I think that's a bit how God's perspective works. He has given us all free will, he knows already what we will do, but it doesn't mean we aren't actively making the choices. It just means he's seen the entire story play out and he's put his stamp of approval on it.
God is outside of time. There's no such thing as "right now" to Him.
