I really don’t see why this is so difficult a point to make.

That God knows what choices I will make does not mean I do not have choices to make.

Is that clearer?

Or:

I can choose to stay up late tonight. Or choose not to. God already knows which one I will choose, not which one He will make me choose.

I can keep going with ‘em if you’d like.. :)

Maybe sometimes you’re a wave and sometimes you’re a particle, but only the observer knows for sure.

We all have choices to make and every one of those choices is part of God's plan for His creation, determined by Him from before the foundation of the world.

Your answer was "NO," there is "no chance" you will not oversleep and miss the bus if that is what God "foresaw" for the future.

No chance.

So what kind of "choice" gives us "no chance" for another choice but the one already designated?
