Foreknowledge COUPLED WITH the ability to create is a form of predestination, but it does not absolve the creature of his/her free will decisions that were foreknown.

They are not acted on except by the man/woman doing them, and they are not accountable until actually acted upon. As the bible says, “The WAGES of sin is death.” IOW, committed sin has consequences.

I see where you’re coming from and agree with it.

I was using predestination in the sense of predetermined or orchestrated so that the individual had no choice. IOW, the God controls everything so we have to do what has been ordained by God that we do.
