What has that got to do with anything stupid people do? So God knows. Still doesn't affect the fact people are free do evil or good.

I am answering Presbyterian here. In Romans chapter nine Paul put the whole free will debate to rest. He pretty much said God made us who we are and we have no choice in the matter. We don't even have the right to complain about it. Of course he was a Hebrew, so I see where he's coming from. In Exodus Moses wrote that Pharaoh was about to release the slaves on more than one occasion, but God "hardened" his heart. Blows my mind!

Think of it this way...
Say you watch Pro Wrestling (the fake stuff). The winner (Christians) has already been pre-determined. The only way the loser (enemy-Satan) wins is if the winner doesn't show up for the match or gives up.
The battle has been decided but we (Christians) must still fight the good fight.
((When you read the end of the Bible (Revelation) you will see we (Christians) win!))

he does know but there is two different paths which depend on the decisions you take in life,which these decisions will lead you to what you are going to be or do that is how there is free will (decisions)

There isn't, an all knowing god doesn't allow free will.

GOD KNOWS WHAT YOUR GOING TO DO BUT THAT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY YOUR FREE WILL,HE KNOWS BUT HE DOES'NT STOP YOU....GOD HAS A LOVING WILL THAT HE BLESSES YOU WITH AND A PERMISSIVE WILL THAT HE ALLOWS SATAN TO INFLUENCE YOU WITH...HE ALLOWS THIS SO YOU CAN EXERCISE YOUR FREE WILL.
