My father said that you have free will, but God knows what decision you'll make.

Like a Greek oracle. If you know about it, and try to avoid it, you'll end up making it happen.

Suppose you make one decision, and change your mind at the last minute.

If your changing your mind was completely predictable, how could it be 'free will'?
