Can you prove that you could have made different choices?

Yes. I could have just walked up to go to lunch right now but I didn't. There was a definite decision process there.

My question: Why are you hung up on whether God knows what you are going to decide at every turn?

We are so conditioned by the idea of Freewill that we think we actually have a choice that God depends on.

But you didn’t go to lunch. Just because you believe you could have, doesn’t mean you really could have. If God knew what you were going to do before He created you, then what you thought was a decision, really wasn’t was it? You were merely following His script.

I do not believe we really have freewill. I believe God has a plan for each of us, and we can only do as He has planned.
