Will or Won't
The apparent contradiction between free will and God's omniscience has long been recognized and debated.  There is even an apparent contradiction between the determinist ideas of physics and our perception of free will.  My current way around this is to say that the human mind has evolved to a level of complexity at which our response to external stimuli is sufficiently sophisticated to be indistinguishable from free will.  We may never know which is the truth.

How may you determine that God has defined one as a reject? Then why do the scriptures suggest you serve him?

I think there is merit! I know I have chosen to be His servant and that is all that matters for me! sam

I beg to differ...
Christianity that you speak of sounds more like robots. You are within your rights to believe anything or any way that you like. You are a free-will agent not pre-programmed before the world began. That's my take. Blessings!
