You do realize that there are many verses talking about God’s omnipotent knowledge and his ability to know what we are going to do even before we do them.

You will also find many verse talking about how God’s chooses those he will save.

But you will never find the term “free will” in the Bible, nor do you see an ongoing message in the Bible about man’s free will.

Man does what he does because of his nature. The natural man does not understand that which is spiritual, because it is not his nature, and therefore, will not chose what is spiritual.

Of course, you probably won’t believe me, but God already knew that...

Of course, God is omniscient. He foresees how we will choose before we do. One way of putting it is that God lives in Eternity, so that all of time is Present to Him.

But the fact that God foresees how we will choose does not prevent us from choosing freely.
