"brainstorm" I didn't ban any answer. I don't care what your opinion is on God, I know that he exists, and I know I'm right! For everything to be as complicated as it is he has to exist!

We each have our individual purpose.

This is my take on our lives and the explanation of our free will. We make many choices in life - from the lipstick we put on each morning, to the type of butter we buy at the grocery store. Choices all the time. Now, consider this (and you kind of have to be a PC gamer to grip it) with each choice we make, God has a pathway already figured out for us to lead us back to Him down that narrow path. Like with a PC game, many choices are made all the time (my boys are gamers) and the computer compensates for their actions allowing them to seek their ultimate prize - victory. Okay, that said, it's certainly not as "simple" as PC gaming, but I believe the concept is close to the same. He knows what choices we have to make. He knows all possible choices we could make. He has already built in variances for each choice we can make. Remember, too, that our mind is not like His mind. He is infinite, He is so much bigger than we can fathom. Don't put God in a box. It's just cool to think about. katiefish <><

Let us, since you have eliminated a great many possible answers, attempt to address your question this way:
Your initial clause is a condition clause. If the condition in this clause cannot be said to be met, the remainder of your question must be invalid.
We must, then, determine whether "God knows all of the choices that we will make in our lifetime." Is there any verifiable evidence that this is the case?
For example, is there any verifiable evidence of the existence of God? If so, does this "God" know anything?
When those questions are answered, the condition you lay down for the rest of your question may be said to have been met. Until that time, your question is meaningless.
Get back to me on this, will you?

There is a small light that has been placed within man!
It is mans duty to locate this light and through "Wisdom" locate that which created this beautiful light!
The intellectual aspect of man will not allow man to come to a greater understanding of God!
Mans intellect will allow man to proceed less than 1% of the journey, that is necessary to find the Creator of man!

Consider this life as a gift. We are her for God's purposes and for God's pleasure. He gave us our free will. He will know how we will use our free will because He has the exhaustive knowledge of everything, but we still need to choose. And how you choose to live has effect on other people's lives too. He did not make us robots because He wants us to be able to choose. : )

We are here because God desired it so. We are told in Jeremiah 1:5,
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you;.."
We are to be comforted in knowing that we are a planned creation of God Almighty Himself and to find peace in knowing that He has a plan for our lives,
"11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13."
Life makes sense and flows as it should when we are at peace with Our Father.
Psalm 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,And He delights in his way.

We are here because a part of God was lost and another part called Christ had to come lead her back to the father. We are the damsel in distress we are the church, the Bride Of Christ.
In time we will awaken. This place wasn't made to have humans. This place was made to keep Sophia "The Holy Ghost" lost and separated from the Father. Humans were the way to keep her divided and each of us have the breath of life which is God in us.

personally I like to think of it like this. Even though we know a song so well that we can sing a cappella, we still like to listen to it and have our emotions go through the same excitement. According to the Bible God feels emotions based on what we do. I think He knows what we will do but He allows Himself to be moved through time.
This is not biblical and only my thought.

We are here to glorify God and have fellowship with Him through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Try reading the Bible (New Testament) and praying. Ask God to reveal Himself to you and help you to live for Him.

God wants to see us live and make the choices.

The answers to your questions are all in the Holy Bible. Read it for yourself, don't take the word of anyone else. I suggest you get a New Living Translation, which is written in plain modern English. You will find a lot more answers if you read it.
