Do you chose? If your mind says do this and don't or don't do that do you react to it?
Some things that Free Will especially when concerning God giving free will is not possible because the Bible uses the term predestined.
They don't accept the fact that in God's eyes, because he knows the beginning from the end, knows the choices that every individual will make, he has already determined who is and who isn't, we are just living it out until it comes to pass.
He allows every individual to make their own choices and the Bible is full of scriptures where God is almost begging people to choose that which is good to choose him. If there was no such thing as free will he would not have a need to even use the word chose.

You seem to miss the part that he knows the beginning and the end, no you didn't miss it you just ignored it.
And because he gives his creations free will doesn't mean he's not all powerful.

@Charity If it knows the end then what happens until then is of no consequence - the outcome will be the same regardless.
Does it take some kind of perverse pleasure from watching people acting under the delusion of free will when, in fact, they're changing nothing?

Dear person if you don't feel you have free will then so be it for you.
If you think The entity referred to as God doesn't exist and is an it *so be it for you* and if you think the *it* is perverse *so be it for you.*
