It depends on how you define free choice, but that's beside the point. The relevant point is that the creator, in his function as the creator, has then predetermined this choice.
That's the most unreasonable thing I've heard, you haven't shown why He has to create beings with a predetermined future. He sees all things and that by no stretch of the imagination means predestination. I can see if certain people stay on the path they are according to the scriptures they will go to hell, does that mean I have predestined them to go to hell. By no means, I couldn't do that for a number of reasons, mostly because I desire that no one go to hell, if that's my desire then how much more is it God's desire, because He loves everyone.

If you can't determine that from what I've written, it want do me any good to tell you. I'll ask you this however, since it seems you haven't read my posts. Why would God give commandments we couldn't follow because we have a predetermined life.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
