We all have our actions and free will. God knows what we will do. He will not stop us.

If God knows everything his actions are forced and he cannot be omnipotent, if he is omnipotent he cant know everything for that reason.
In scientific terms current theory suggests that the whole universe exists all at once - in other words there is no 'now' and it seems no more than an illusion and we have every right to think of the universe as one time. The whole thing frozen in time. If thats the case you could argue that your destiny was fixed - but this is something hard for people to get - that doesnt mean you dont have free will. Just because your future is fixed doesnt mean its not constructed by decisions you freely make here in the present! regards

We do not have an ordained path. God knows our future because from His vantagepoint, outside of time, He sees the fullness of time as a constant and eternal reality. Therefore He has already seen the choices of free will you will make, but His observing such choices and therefore knowing them, doesn't make those choices any less free.

An all-knowing god would have known that Adam and Eve would have eaten the fruit. He had to know and ran the plan anyways that he knew would end up in the eternal torture of billions of good people.
Only his non-existence can excuse him in my opinion.

Where God is, time does not exist. He is all knowing, but by giving us free will, He gave us the opportunity to change ourselves and change what will happen as a result of our actions.

dealing with adam and eve-
God knew that Satan would temp them, he knew ALL the out comes, but did not know which out come Eve would take (free will).
On the road, there are many paths, God does not know which you take, but knows where each path ends!
