Can God or the Holy Spirit, who seem to be the same guy anyway, who are omniscient, meaning all-knowing, intervene without determine our will? I mean, God's omniscient, that means He knows every single detail of the past, present and future. Wouldn't He know extacly what choices we'll make if He presented such or such options, and thus determine our will?
In what sense you're allowing your creatures to enjoy their free-will if your intervinence is determining their will in the way you know it will.

This is one of the conundrums of the "God" concept.
Preknowledge of action AND creation of the initial action negates freewill...

Sure why not. Make it up however you want. Things like omniscient and omnipotent etc etc have no real substance. We're just making stuff up when we toss those abstract concepts around.

And knowing you will burn in hell after He created you?
That makes perfect sense to me.

"without determine our will" I think you mean something in there but you haven't said it.
