If God Knows What Will Happen Tomorrow, Do We Still Have Free Will? by Homefinders(f): 4:11am On Feb 18, 2017
If God knows everything, God knows the future. If God knows the future, how can there be free will?If the future is already known, then it can't be changed, and therefore there cannot be free will.And why does God get angry about events when he already knows what is going to happen?

God doesn't know the future.
He simply declares it and then makes it happen. Or he sees alternate realities/timelines which are ahead of us in time.

There's still freewill because God knows what you will freely choose.

No it doesn't, knowledge of the future doesn't take freewill away.

No bro it doesn't, just asserting that freewill requires ignorance of the future doesn't mean it does, that needs to be demonstrated while taking into account all the complexities that comes with God and time.

We all have free Will to be Righteous before God, The Giver of Light and Life.
No one has The Free Will to do evil. And even when you commit suicide, you'll burn in Hell with Sulfur.

God knows the future. He plans all Destinies for His Own Pleasure. He's God and He's responsible for Light&Darkness; Good&Bad and Life&Death.

If God knows I will use my free will to eat rice as my dinner tomorrow...Is there a possibility that I might use my free will to eat beans at dinner tomorrow?

God is actually clueless about a lot of things. It didn't even know that satan had deceived Eve and that she and Adam had eaten the fruit undecided

The impossibility is that God would be wrong, if u choose to eat beans then God would have known that instead or if u choose to eat rice then he would have known that instead.

In other words, I am bound to do what God already knows, since he can never be wrong. Right?

Where then lies my free will with God already in the know of my action?
