Am I making any sense?
You are making sense, but I will have to counter. :p
If free will means you could have done not-X instead of X given the same conditions, then even if one choice ends up being actualized, it doesn't mean that you weren't free to do the other choice because in other possible worlds you do. God decides what world is actualized but does not eliminate the possibility of you having done otherwise.
I think it might help to see each world as a complete world from the start rather than progressively building over time. Maybe.
But if he already knows what I’m going to choose to do in each of the three worlds, and he then makes a conscious, rational intelligent decision to choose one for me over the other two, in what meaningful way am I actually free?
