The biblical answer to your question is "False." The reason is because Christ "came in a manger." The Kenosis says that Jesus willing set aside his Godly power.

Irrelevant. Jesus performed His miracles by the Power of the Father.

...and the Father did not elect that miracles should be performed in those cities which would bring them to Repentance... but rather, that they should be left in their Non-Repentance and Damned.

In the garden, Jesus said, "Father take this cup from me." ~~ Therefore, Because Jesus prayed it, Jesus could have not gone to the cross. True or False?

"My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will"

It was not possible, for the Father had decreed that the Son must die to purchase His Elect from the penalty of Sin.

So you are telling me that Jesus, himself, had no free choice?
