What's the point of asking God for something if God knows the future and has already decided what to do?

God's foreknowledge of a matter is determined by your choices and free will. That is the paradox and mystery of His foreknowledge. When you do instead choose Pepsi instead of Coke, He knew you would, but He only knew it because at some point in the future you make that choice of your own free will.

God has neither chosen Pepsi or Coke for you, only you have done that. And whatever choice, He knew it would be so. There isn't a predetermined choice in that case that you cannot escape, that is not how foreknowledge works. You still can determine your future, it's not set in stone, but whatever you choose, it will be known by God already.

LGBTQIA+ Christians in this sub. I’m afraid after over 25+ years I’m losing faith. Please help. What do you guys think of Judas Iscariot? Texas to Take Up Bill Requiring Ten Commandments in Every Public School Classroom and another that would allow schools to hire pastors or chaplains instead of counselors. Faith, it seems, is something God (the epitome of unaccountable power) requires of the "lesser" beings to justify the lack of transparency God created for himself. how should i go about converting my muslim friend to Christianity I turned on "Christian" radio today and it disgusted me. God Must Exist For Morality To Be Objective Pornography is an evil sin. You can easily see this by how it is made and by its effects.
