We believe God exists in a dimension outside of time and so he already knows all the choices we will make with our free will. But yeah, him knowing what choices we will make before we make them, doesn't make them any less our own choices.
Anyway, hopefully someone else will come in here and also answer in their own words. I hate it when I'm the only one who answers lol.
My bold.
But it does mean you can't choose to do anything besides what God has already pre-determined. So in what sense is it really a 'choice'?
If there are possibilites A and B in theory but God has already fated that it's definitely going to be A and not B.... then you have to do A no matter what and B isn't really an option at all. So how is that a choice or freedom?
