No Free Will

I truly believe that there is no free will. This is my reasoning for it:

To me free will means we choose our path/destination in life. Free will would give us the choice to choose to go left or right when a fork appears in our road of life.

However God is supposed to be all seeing and all knowing, which i believe in. So if God is all seeing and all knowing God already k ows which path each of us will take. If God knows which path we will take than we have no free will because God already knows whoch path we will choose.

If you claim that you have free will and your path isn't already chosen than you can not claim that Gos is all seeing and all knowing. And by your point of view, God doesn't know all and see all, which would thus make God cease to exist.

This is of course the most simplest way to state what free will is but if you spent half a second thinking about it you'll realize I'm correct. If you disagree you're either closed minded or too ignorant to think it through

Genesis 3:
8
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9
But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"

If God knows everything, then how could Adam and Eve hide from Him? Why does God call out "Where are you?" He clearly doesn't know where they are hiding - QED: God doesn't know everything.

This is a direct quote from the Old Testament Bible that shows God isn't all seeing and all knowing.
@Richard65 Correct. The same logic applies to when Cain killed Abel and when God sent the three angels to investigate the complaints in prayer God received regarding Sodom and Gomorrah.

Also, the same is true of omnipresence. The Bible says the heavens (universe) can't contain him and his place is fixed in heaven.

And omnipotence. God can't come to earth (see omnipresence) and can't lie.
