Souls and God

Name: Nanami 2008-05-20 12:35

Now I haven't read much about logic or stuff so if someone could formulate my problem with a better language I'd be thrilled.
Let's say God is omniscient.
Because of his omniscience he will only act in one way, seeing how he's because of mentioned omniscience seeing himself act in the future, now and the past.
Now let's take a soul.
God is the creator of all souls, since he is the creator of everything. Which means that he makes a conscious decision when creating a particular soul. Because of his omniscience he will see this souls future before he's even created it, he will see whether or not this soul will sin or not.
Now here comes my point:
If God is truly omniscient, then why does he knowingly create souls that inevitably will sin and revolt against God, thus being condemned to hell?
The way one can explain this is if God's either not:
Omniscient

or

All benevolent

What do you guys think?
Did I think it through this time?

Sometimes you will see scientists go back to their axioms to see if maybe they can repose other questions. This is a methodology known as "guess and check, or trial and error". Something that RedCream consistently fails to do, he just accepts what other so-called professionals tell him, but he never wants to live his own life, hence his annoying presence here. He is the antagonist, the perverbial "devil" if you will saying that you don't need to investigate your axiom, you shouldn't have an axiom in the first place, just do what you feel like doing for the moment. Well, that's what animals do, not out of choice, only out of their own nature. So, RedCream would have us behave as animals without any shred of Will, choice, or imagination. Thanks for your compassion RedCream. We do so vigorously appreciate it, as it only reaffirms our own faith. Without knowing of the possibility of you, we wouldn't have the opportunity to choose a different potential. (to know that a potential like you exists, allows us to understand other choices and make them accordingly)
