Could it really be possible for any God to know every action taken by every single human before he created them if they have freewill?
So, what is freewill to an all-knowing God? Are we are just robots pre-programmed to do what we do or is it impossible to have freewill and an all-knowing 'creator'?

If time does not exist for someone in any form, the universe would be a still image. So if this creator exists and he is all-knowing, he created your entire life with all your choices as a finnished product. That sounds pretty amazing, but it does mean that you do not have freewill and nothing you do is a suprise to this entity cause it was all 'created' at the same time even if you are able to travel in non-linear time, it is still time and it does not apply to this creator. The universe is a still image with no time. I wonder what it looks like, but I find it hard to believe that there is such a creator.

freewill is the freedom to choose yes or not and which direction to take. Even if God knows the begin and the end......he does not take away our right to choose yes, no, this way

Free Will.
We have Free Will, great what does that mean?
And does God know everything?
Lets look at a computer program that plays chess a simple concept but the decision trees can be massive.
Ok
After the first moves you move
The computer runs the trees and sees every possibility and its winning move, it moves.
You make a move
The computer runs the trees and sees every possibility and its winning move, it moves.
You make a move
--Continue--
With free will you have choices sometimes it is a simple choice see a movie or stay home.
God dose no know what you will chose, that’s free will.
But after you make the choice God can see where that takes you at your end.
After every choice you make God (runs program) sees your end.
The end can change, God can also place objects in your path, and the choices there can drastically change your end.
So can God see where you end up heaven or hell? YES
Can you change that outcome? YES
But remember human nature, if you are on a path, heaven or hell, you tend to stay on that path unless something some object, a block etc… by God or by Satan, may change the your path.
There is Predestined, There is no Predestination!
One that is Predestined is one that was chosen from before. (If you don't understand that put it on the shelf)
There will be more than 144,000 that are Predestined!
They are also the only ones that can commit the unforgivable sin!

An all-knowing Creator doesn't conflict in any way with our ability to freely choose our path. God is all knowing, and exists outside of time. From that perspective He can see all of time at once, continuously. Therefore He can see our free choices of will. At this moment (speaking from our perspective - God doesn't have any moments) God is seeing us making every choice we have ever made and every choice we ever will make. He is also seeing at this moment Judas's choice to betray Jesus, and all the choices every human being will make in the 30'th century. He sees us when we make choices in accord with His will, and He sees us when we make choices contrary to His will. But the fact that He can see us making our choices doesn't make those choices any less free.

I think free will is exactly that ,the right to make choices intelligent ones or not.God does not want a bunch of puppets that he controls.We pray for guidance and receive it.We are not preprogrammed in advance to do his bidding.hopefully we grow in wisdom and intelligents and embrace his way of doing things

Freewill, to me, means that you have control over what you do. God does not control you because he gave you a choice, to sin or not to sin. You choose whether to get saved, or to be baptized, or not. Me, i am christian so i only believe that there is one god.

God knows what's going to happen because he knows us sooo well (much better than we know ourselves) that he already knows what we would choose in different situations, but ultimately the choice is still ours.
It's kind of like when I take my husband to the spaghetti factory. I know him well enough to know that he's going to pick the clam sauce, I don't force him to get it, it's still his choice, but I know him well enough that I already know ahead of time that's what's going to happen.
hope that makes sense.

Free willy was a great movie about a big fish that needed to be set free...
We are potentially all aspects of God so we know everything.

Robots. Highly complex robots, but we can never escape our past and current states as well as our past outputs, all of which determine precisely how we will react to our current inputs.
