No not if God is the one doing the choosing. If we have no free will and God dictates our choice and we absolutely cannot choose anything other than what He has dictated then we can’t make any choices because there’s no other option for us to choose from. Now you’re saying that there would be the illusion of a choice that we can’t actually choose from. If we can’t actually choose anything other than what God has dictated then there is no choice. It seems like you’re trying to hang on to the notion that we have a choice because you have to have some way for God to not be responsible for our sin. It can’t work both ways either He dictates our actions which makes Him responsible for them or we make our own choices which makes us responsible for our own actions. You can’t have it both ways because one directly contradicts the other. God’s dictation eliminates a choice and free will eliminates God’s dictation. It’s either one or the other it can’t be both.No the question is not whether there is an actual other option(s), but whether we choose. If we 'see' options, (not knowing which one is going to happen until we choose one) we can choose from among them.
