If God granted us free will, how is it that during the last supper Jesus (God), told the gathered apostles that "one of them would betray him", the one being Judas. Where was Judas' free will? Just before his arrest Jesus, (God) told Simon Peter that "before the rooster crowed three times he would betray him", again, where was Peter's free will? Is free will selective? It seems to me, either we have free will or we do not. If we do not, how can we be held accountable for anything we do by a just God? If we have no free will as my examples seem to indicate, the atonement is meaningless, since we had no choice in the matter.
How do you correlate free will with an all knowing God? The two concepts are mutually excluding.
