isnt that kinda contradictory though, he knows what we are going to do, but we have a choice to do it? now if he knows then we dont have a choice, you follow me here. If he knows what path we will take then that means that our fate is already determined so I dont know guess that takes me right back to the begininning and still don't know Gabriel whats your feelings here.
