I disagree Fidel. The choices are not made for you. They were always only your choices. You were not forced to make them. You were free to act as your will dictated.
God knows the history of the universe from beginning to end. He is not bound by linear time. All that he's done here is took a peek at your life from the end point. He knows what decisions you made, but he had no part in influencing those decisions. Those were fully yours to make.
I think you're talking about free will versus free agency. There is no such thing as free will. We act as we're biologically programmed to do. No decision we can make can contradict the influences that precedes it. We are free agents to act as out wills dictate. ie nothing prevents us from doing things we've decided to do. We may choose to commit crime and get caught and punished. Nothing stopped us from doing what we did.
