Hmmm. I know God actually does force things sometimes. To give an example he originally intended Adam to and Eve to become plentiful and populate the earth. When they disobeyed him and caused themselves to become mortal, his purpose didn't change, but how he would accomplish it would. Another example is the Tower of babel. Human have limitless potential, and they were becoming so organized they actually might've throw off his timeline, so he divided them and "made starge their speach." That's the idea anyway.
As for his ability to see the future, I was thinking this might be increadable foresight. For example he warned isreal after the exodus not to give themselves a king. It wasn't a bad idea on it's own, except humans can and frequently do become corrupt. Isreal, had some very good kings, but most of them were bad and turned their back on god. it'd be kinda like warning my child not to play with sharp objects. There's nothing really wrong with the idea except that kids are clumsy. Oh, and Buzzsaw. I noticed in one of your posts you mentioned Jehovah. Are you a Witness?

"Truely this means everlasting life, yor taking in knowledge of the one true god andthe one whom he sent forth Jesus Christ."
I believe how you behave is peobably the most important too, but the way I see it, how many people have slandered God simply because they don't know any better. The Cross is an idol and an insult to Jesus, but it's in churches everywhere. This is why I worry that maybe just being good isn't aenough.
