   1. Then isn't He predestining us because He is seeing in us something that is motivating Him to save us?  If our faith motivates God to save us, then it must have some merit in God's eyes, otherwise it would not motivate God to save us."
   2. Then God is looking into the future in order to learn.  This would violate His attribute of omniscience.  In other words, if God is looking into the future to see our choices, then this means God is constrained by time (otherwise He would not have to look into the future).  The truth is that God is omniscient and knows all things all the time.  He does not have to look anywhere, anytime to discover anything.  To say that He looks into the future to see who would pick Him and then He predestines them is to say that God essentially is learning and adapting to the knowledge He gains in His future looking.
