The Doctrine of Apparent Free Will - Miguel Diocuore
God is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. That means that, not only has God always known what choices individuals will make tomorrow, but has actually determined those choices.
Ephesians 1:4 "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight" and also 2:8 "For it is by grace you are saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God."
Therefor the free will that we experience is only apparent, apparently true from our perspective only. We cannot subvert God's will with our own.
