It seems pretty straightforward to me. But I suppose only intellectuals get that concept.

Peter is free do to the thing or not, but God knowing peter in and out, He knows which thing peter will or will not do. Peter was not forced to do the thing. He did it out of His own choice. God only knows the choice Peter will make. He DOES NOT MAKE THE CHOICE FOR HIM. Or do you guys not understand what free will means?

To make is simpler for your brains here is a perfect example. Suppose the CIA taps your phone and in the conversations, you say you will be boarding your plane to Miami at date X, time Y. Can you turn around and say that now you dont have free will to make the trip just because the CIA knows about your plans without your knowledge?
