Continuing this conversation.

In this scenario, you are saying that nothing happens unless God intends it to happen.

Yes. That’s what the Bible teaches. God “works all things after the counsel of his will.” The worst crime in human history, the murder of God’s own Son occurred when people did “whatever [God’s] hand and [God’s] plan had predestined to take place.” God has his own good purposes in everything, purposes we won’t fully understand unless he reveals them.

Loss of free will is inherent.

Free will is a tricky term. Whether we have free will or not depends on how it is defined. But no, we don’t make autonomous choices.

If we have no free will, it matters little what decisions we make because God intended us to do them when he created the universe, and we can’t go against God’s plan.

It matters what choices we make because God works his plan through our choices. Our choices are means by which he brings about his plan. And we are responsible for our choices because they come from our own desires and motives.

Your scenario also suggests there is no omnipotence.

Omnipotence is defined as the ability to do everything he desires or plans to do. If God is “working all things according to the counsel of his will,” then he is omnipotent.

If he can see the future, he still can’t make any choices.

The future that he sees is the future that he chose to bring to pass. Everything that will happen represents a choice he made in eternity.

But if by “he still can’t make any choices” you mean that he can’t change his mind, then I agree. God is immutable and his plan for history is immutable.

No matter which way you look at it, free will is abrogated, if not in God, in us.

God is the one whose will is autonomous. He’s the creator, we’re the creatures. We can’t take our next breath unless he sustains it.

If God has autonomous free will, then we can’t. That would make for a contradiction.
