Here is your answer:
YOU are part of God. You have 100% absolute free will. God has 100% knowledge of the choices you will make with your free will and does not alter your CHOICE. However, he does provide a course correction and will subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) attempt to "steer" you down a path which can enhance the potential for your spirit (soul) to be purified. This correction may also be, to give you the opportunity to learn or teach a lesson.
The analogy to this is; You are the captain steering your ship, but God is the wind. You're taking the ship where you want it to go, but the wind may just alter your course along the way.

You do have free will. You in your choices will make ones that can glorify God or they will distance you from the loving hand of God. He will watch you and so will satan. Satan will throw the world and all the offers in your face to take you away from heaven and the great and perfect things God has for you.
Remember God will give and satan only has offers.
When, you come home to God and fully accept Him into your life then your story will be revealed. You as a christian are two parts. Flesh and Spirit, your spirit will be prompted by God to do those things that God asks, your flesh will want the desires of the world. That is where choice comes into play. We all have choices and we make them daily.
Remember this, if God wanted you to worship Him, he would have made you into a robot with no choice to do anything else.

We have a free will.
Life is somewhat like an old country road, there comes a point in your journey when you come upon a fork in the road.
You can chose to travel the road to the right or the road to the left.
One of those two roads is the path to destruction the other is the pathway of God.
You have the freewill to make the choice, however God knows the outcome based upon your decision.

God gives us free will to choose. He just happens to know beforehand how we will choose. That is just the way it is. We are also given time to live and experience our decision. God does have a perfect plan for every life, but we don't have to choose it..
The confusion is that nothing is or can be hidden from God.

God is totally sovereign. He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He knows all because he has planned all. There is nothing to know, no choices to be made unless they are already planned by God. If they are not planned by God how could they exist? They would be separate and apart from God, another God! Everyday is planned for you before one of them comes about the Bible says in Psalms.

Oh yeah, we have a free will.
We can go out and kill a bunch of innocent human beings, and screw everybody for money, and God will still love us.
(God won't "pour his wrath" upon us, like the other christians say)
But thing is, why would you want to break Gods heart...I mean if you really loved him?
The thing about God planning our lives is true. But we have the free will to change them also.
But it would be best to obey God, and live by our destinys he has planned for us.

we have free will even if God has planned out our lives. in order to make a plan about your life all he has to do is know your choices.
if somebody offered you the choice of $100 or $5 you would choose the hundred dollars. this doesn't mean you dont have a choice it just means that the choice you will make is obvious.
well everything is obvious to an omniscient being

Free will is an illusion... Everything will go just the way He wants... Proverbs 16:9 - "A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps." Try thinking of it like sitting in the backseat of your parents' car while being a child... You're able to watch the scenery, sleep, play, or whatever; but, the car's gonna still get where the Driver's going...

fore-ordination or predestination. Gods divine plan calls for us to have complete freewill. He has given this free will to make the choices that we see fit why do youthink the world is so messed up. If god made all our choices for us dont you think the world ould be a better place.

The God gived us free will... unfortunatly he didn't give us the wisdom to use it... Not knowing what is realy good or bad is like i picking the 8 ball from all others blibdfolded in a dark room.
