I read the series "Off to be the Wizard." Part of the plot involved time travel.

One of the issues a main character had was that he believed in free will but his love interest was traveling back in time and knew everything that was going to happen (in his current time). This violated his belief in free will which sparked a good discussion and diversity of perspective between characters. I'm curious what other people feel about the scenario in the book.

If you haven't read the series, feel free to comment also but please note your point of reference so I can look that up as well. The books were funny and light reading, not serious but it made for a good topic.
@multitude So you believe in free will.

The situation in the book was interesting. The person from the future came back. Their presence was part of the story (which is the readers' present). So that character played 2 different temporal versions existing at the same time and eventually living through both current and future story lines and perspectives. (I don't want to give away too much of the story)

Bible says God loves the world and hates sin, but God didn't told us to love the world but we should praise God only and not Idols, but Tennessee will one day be judged by God on Judgement day, the second coming of Jesus Christ will be so powerful that even everyone will see him, Christ will destroy everyone that did evil on Earth and will save his people and children
