Mimio - hardly the place for a dissertation on the relationship and apparent paradox between God's sovereignty and the human free will. However... of course God knows who will choose Him and who will not. This does not make Him the author of sin and humanity's rebellion, however. He created us with the ability to choose, knowing what we will choose. I suggest that the relationship between our free will and His sovereignty transcends our finite minds, ultimately. But, God will not force His spirit on anyone, nor will He force anyone into eternal separation from Him.
Though sovereign and omniscient, we are still left with the ability to choose. God sends no one to Hell... we decide whether or not we accept His one and only provision, or not. Therefore, we decide where we will spend eternity.
