That is the very premise that *fixes* my choices, and excludes the
possibility of free will. If God knows what choice I'm going to make at
a give decision point, then I'm not free to make any other choice.
I will reiterate, because it does not seem to be getting through to you,
that this does not necessitate that God is *controlling* my actions. It
is only required that my choices be fixed in order that they might be
*perfectly* known *in advance.*

Fine, I wish you could get off of this. See my remarks above as to why
I'm not claiming that an omniscient God must be all-controlling.
