God is omniscient. "ALL KNOWING". ALL means ALL.
That means He knows what WILL happen...and He also knows what COULD happen in an infinite number of possibilities and variables.
Don't allow your God to become smaller than He is. You cannot put limitations on the Limitless One.
God knows what will happen if you turn right, or turn left, or go straight, or...if you hop on one foot for an hour in one place.
He sees time from beginning to end.

No thats all an act. First of all, God created the 10 commandments for a reason (if you believe in the delusion). God commands his people to obey him. That is not an act of free will. For example, If I choose not to steal because the commandments say so then that is not free will because my choice has been influenced. Secondly, according to Merriam Websters dictionary, free will cannot be a choice that is determined by divine intervention (like prayer).

God told Isahia that He and He alone knows the future. I don't ever remember reading anywhere in the book where He said He would use that power to force anyone to comply with His commands or even suggestions. I do, however, remember the book saying for us to "choose" to do or not to do. Again, the doctrine of free-will is a gargantuan waste of time and just one more distraction for people with no evident life to live.

God knows our hearts, and we face consequences when we are not following Gods Plan, because God wants what is best for us, and knows sin is bad, God does not want us to sin, when we do, bad things happen, and if we do not come to Know Jesus Christ as our savior, we will not be saved, since Jesus took our sins to the cross, we have to ask to be forgiven of them. We cannot take sin to an eternal Holy Kingdom because God is Holy.

No
There are many verses on predestination and election such as:
Eph 1:3-7
Romans 8:28-29
Romans 9:9-14
and many more
Also, we need to remember that it is on of the hardest ideas in the Bible to accept. This is because from our point of view we do have free will. you tell yourself that it is you who decided to wake up and eat breakfast this morning because that's how you see it.
Scripture says in John that Christ only recieves thoes who God the father has given to him. We need to realize that it is not us who found God, it's God who found us.

God knows what we are going to do before we do, but that does not mean He has anything to do with the choices we make.

God knows what could happen in the past if we don't change our ways. He is all about giving us second and even third chances before we die.

yes we do,, it is Gods foreknowledge of what we decided to do, does not mean God set the path out for us, we have the freedom just as Satan did to choose who he would serve,, God said choose this day whom you will serve, ,, and The bible also says many run the race but only the ones who finish will receive the prize,, Jesus said i would that thou wert cold or hot but because thou are luck warm i will spu you out.. just to many scriptures to tell on here,, but we choose ever day what we will do,,,love and prayers
