So...god already knows what will happen in the future. And god is infallible so that means you can't change it...so does free will actually exist? [Spirituality & Religion]

I know that this is an old question but i've never really talked about it before.

And this is compounded if we believe that biblical prophecies are legitimate.

How do we square inviolable predetermination with free will?

If you believe that we are the result of creation by a truly omniscient God, then there is no free will. According to that belief, God's knowledge of our future behaviours would have been part of our creation.

If, on the other hand, you don't believe in a truly omniscient God or no God at all, then free will is a possibility.

The first gives us an impression of free will, but only that.
