Freewill and Predestination

Since God ordained that man should have freewill, then whatever man chooses to do, it can be said in a sense that God is the doer of it, without meaning that God necessarily controls each person's choices.

Illustration:

Queen Victoria on July 9, 1900 gave Royal Assent to The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which created and give legislative powers to the Australian federal government).

But the Act did not come into force until January 1, 1901.

Thereafter the Australian federal parliament began passing its own Bills.

But it can be said that whatever Bills the Australian government chose to pass were in a sense passed by the monarch Herself (seeing She had given Royal Assent in the first place that an Australian federal Parliament should be created and that it should be empowered to enact its own legislation).

But that doesn't mean the Queen literally is the doer of everything enacted by the Australian parliament. She hasn't decided on a single Bill. Her only sovereign decision was that parliament should henceforth make its own decisions - even when parliament might sometimes make decisions that happen to be against Her personal preferences!

Similarly, God's sovereign choice (like the Queen's) was that man should have freewill and that there would be consequences for different choices.

Therefore it can be said that God foreordained people to various consequences - not because freewill isn't really freewill, but simply because He foreordained freewill and consequences.
