Answer #26.
Haven't we answered this question enough times, x?
Of course not. God knew everything from the beginning of time.
A similar question I would pose to you; has there ever been a time when God has not directed even one event? If there has been then God is not God.
Under your soteriology God is unable to bring man to full repentance simply because it goes against man's will. People cannot pray for someone else's salvation because it would violate their free will. God is powerless to rescue someone because it goes against their will. This didn't seem to stop God from zapping Paul.
