		<description><![CDATA[The idea that our future is written is ultimately an illusion because it necessarily means we have no choice in our own destiny. Although God, who is omniscient, knows the possible outcome of any decision we may choose in our life, this foreknowledge does mean that we no longer have a choice. Our future may [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gebran.wordpress.com&blog=1296304&post=422&subd=gebran&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
