...Free Will?

Ok, here is one issue that everyone must touch on once or twice in their life. Do we have free will? If God knows all, then He knows the next choice we are going to make. So then we don't have free will eh?
It just so happens that I think I have found the answer already, but I want your feedback on this - God knows our choices already, but that doesn't mean we know what they are. We still have to choose. Just because he knows what were going to choose and do, we don't know what were going to do till we do it. This I think may be true free will!
Feedback...

free will - the freedom of humans to make choices not determined by divine intervention....God knows all possibilities for our choices and the outcomes of said choices but still allows us to do our thing, good or bad....that's my two cents worth

If we didn't have a free will we'd be like a puppet on a string! And, even though some of our choices are poor, He still gives us that freedom and then He works to bring about the best in us. Amazing!

"it's the question
that drives us..."
(one of trinity's earliest lines in The Matrix)

"in my rather wimpy understanding of things... our free will is our greatest endowment from God- free will represents God's greatest trust, greatest risk, greatest hope.

i also think that the most important aspect of one's faith is the question-asking part... even if the answers we are able to arrive at are, at best, inconclusive."
