If god has already seen it happen, prior to it happening, how can you do anything different when that time comes? 

The play has been written prior to your arrival, you can only act the part given to you.

This^ If God sees that you're going eat eggs for breakfast, then you will go and eat eggs for breakfast, if you don't then God wasn't apparently powerful enough to see that you were going to change your mind and eat waffles instead. What makes you think God wouldn't take into account your change of mind? This also applies to my question, the important bit here is that if God sees that you're going to hell then you have no way at all to not go to hell. If you do end up in heaven when he saw you go to hell, does that mean God was wrong? Was he a lier? Did you trick him? Does he have flaws?

@CL It'd still appreciate it if you'd answer my question, maybe we can get somewhere with this discussion.
