Does God have Free Will?

Everyone always asks if we have free will because God knows all, thus if he knows all than we don't have free will. Knowing for certain what someone else will do does not take away their choice to do it. But, if God knows everything, then he also knows his own future. If he knows everything that he will do, then does he still have a choice. He can not make a different choice than what he knows because he knows all and so no matter what "choice" he makes he already knew that he was going to make that choice and act in that way. So, does that mean that God does not have free will?

    I see your point but in my opinion God already said what will happen in the future and it is written in the Holy Books and he could change it if he wanted to, but it has already been written and he will continue to act on those ideas and plans. God is the only God that exists according to Christianity and Islam and of course he has free will, he is God he can do what he wants and he has chosen what will happen and what he will do.

    There is no proof of the existence of god. For the record I don't believe that humans have free will either and that god is not necessarily humanoid. To apply such standards on a creature that we don't even know whether exists or not is stupid.

    the original definition of Free Will is a will unaffected by outside influences. so, by that definition God is the only one with free will.

    also if you go to a restaraunt knowing what you will order because that's what you want, does that make it any less of your choice?
