god’s foreknowledge and human free will
Observe, pray, how blind are those who say that if God has foreknowledge of what I’m going to will, since nothing can happen otherwise than as he has foreknown it, therefore I must necessarily will what he has foreknown. If so it must be admitted that I will, not voluntarily but from necessity. Strange folly! Is there, then, no difference between things that happens according to God’s foreknowledge where there is no intervention of man’s will at all, and things that happen because of a will of which he has foreknowledge?
Augustine
