I didn't see the movie, but since God knows what our free-will decision is going to be, how can it truly be free-will? God controls/creates all that happens. We may feel that what we do is a decision, but it is already known, along with all that happens as a result. To me, it seems like the outcome to everything is known, not to us, but to Him that made it all happen. It seems that everything happens just as it should.

God knows but YOU do not know until you do it. His knowing what you WILL do has nothing to do with the fact that you can CHOOSE to do either good or evil. Saying God knows what you will choose doesn't say WHICH you will choose, does it? And we don't know which we will choose until we choose, do we? So His knowing has nothing to do with OUR choosing. Got it?

It seems that with God knowing what I am going to do...then I have no choice in doing anything other than that. Whether I choose to do good or evil...has already been decided/known by God. I believe that if God knows something..then that is the way it will be. I may think I have chosen, but I can only do that which God knows is going to happen.
