Perhaps it amuses him seeing how long you study the choice.

I hope you are asking a philosophical question here and this is not one of that questions that just want to prove that god doesn't exist.
FREE WILL: Let's say that you are making a decision. You choose on your own but your decision depends on your previous experience and on the current situation. Even the slightest thing may influence your decision. But it is a decision made on your free will? I think yes. If you were given this choice a million times with exactly the same factors influencing it would you choose the same thing on your free will? I think yes.
GOD: I think the most common mistake people make is to put god in their own measures. They give him this father like figure which is totally wrong because God is supposed to be a concept larger than humans can comprehend so if you give human measures to that concept you are already loosing it.
EVERYTHING: If that concept called God exists it understands every factor that influences our actions so it knows everything that we are going to chose in the same way that I know that an apple will fall on the ground and not float in the air.
So God knows everything that we choose and we choose by free will. But the real question is will God judge us for our actions? Would you judge an apple for falling down from a tree? I wouldn't. I would just let it crush on the floor.
On the other side you might put a pillow under the tree? Then you would be a loving God. Is there such a thing?
I don't know...
Some people hope so...
Others believe ...
Others don't....
Nobody can prove anything.

Albert Whitehead, a philosopher from the mid 1900's, suggested that God's potentiality if found in creation. I don't think god knows. What would be the fun in that. Why not just send those who would have done the right thing to heaven and damn those who didn't to hell. Why is there life here on earth if god knew the outcome, why go through the creative process itself? Now the next question is can he quess what is going to be your choice?

Look, you want ot make this much harder than it is. Alot of people do. If you come to God, as a child does, with an open heart, he will lift you up. Why make it harder than it is? God is omnicient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He has the ability to see what the future outcome of your life will be. Look at Paul, if God couldn't see far in advance, and know what Paul would become, do you think he would have entrusted him to write the letters to the churches and be an example to all who love God. We tend to put God in a box because we are finite beings. God exists outside the box. He is all powerful.

2 cents? Wasn't it 30 products of Silver that someone chosen to settle for which condemned Him? God, being omipotent and omniscient might want to, through definition, comprehend the way it is going to all pan out. yet when he's all-powerful then we can anticipate a Multiverse and countless form of timelines hypothesis in which issues can workout habitual in yet otherwise. God can make it so as that He can not do something! So there is not any inconsistency in the (sinful) indignant, jealous and murderous partiarchal God of the old testomony, and none in the acts of Jesus Christ both. the folk who wrote down the gay prohibitions and adorned the meanings basically were given it undeniable incorrect and could themselves (because they replaced what became written) be on a thanks to Hell inclusive of each and each of the fools who've said them. maximum religions want witches of a few sort or different to seek.

That's a funny question.. Not funny haha, funny weird.
If god were to know what you'd do even before you did it, then technically you wouldn't have free will. Cos then your actions are predestined, regardless of whether or not god takes action on them (he allows us to make the choices we make, even though he knows them).
You can't have both - it's either fate or predestination or it's free will.
This is a paradox and one of many that concludes that god doesn't exist. We have free will not because god says so, but because we say so.

"My Calvinist friends say to me, 'I just can't figure out how to reconcile God's omniscience with free will.' Listen, I have three degrees in theology, I've studied the Bible for over twenty years, and I've been preaching for over fifteen, and I still don't know how it works! I don't know how electricity works, but I don't sit in the dark." -- a preacher I saw on TV once (not an exact quote)

I think He does. If you see that God is much older, much wiser and our maker, you will see why. Just as I know that if my 9 year old son drops skittles on the ground, he will bend down, pick them up and eat them before I have a chance to object, because he is predictable for me.

Yes He does know what you will choose with your free will.
Remember, He created you and He knows your entire life, from birth to death.
