***Some of the Calvinist branches would argue that free will is really just a myth, and that every second of every life is planned and known.***
To be more precise, in our fallen state our free will causes us to choose poorly, so to speak. It is not until we have been regenerated that our free will is capable of professing faith in Christ and willing to please God.

Right. As I said in a later message, I shouldn't even mention this stuff in these threads. It's way to complex to really get into here.
It's a fun discussion for a lazy Saturday, though, assuming you have a well-schooled Calvinist on hand. It can go on for hours and hours.
I'm not doing that any more. That was something from my late twenties, when I had the energy for such discussions.
