This just came up on another thread....

Assuming an omni3 (omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent) god created you, he must know all the choices you will make in your lifetime. <font color="blue"> So it seems those choices will be made by god, not yourself. </font>

That doesn't follow. God's knowing what you will choose does not mean god makes the choice. I may know that my friend hates vanilla and loves chocolate ice cream, so when he's at the store and has to choose between the two, I know he will choose chocolate, but that doesn't mean that I made the choice for him.

I didn't create my friend, and I'm not omniscient, so the reasons why I know what choice he will make are different, but that just means that my knowledge is not infallible like god's is, but it still doesn't follow that we made the choices.

The point is not that God "makes the choice". The point is that if you cannot choose there is no choice.

I think the original poster's claim was that God does make the choice (which I think is incorrect). In terms of there being no choice this seems like a separate claim and nothing to do with God's properties - it seems to depend more on a belief in determinism (with or without a God).
