Only those who believe in the existence of an entity that is omniscience and omnipotent, can figure out the concept of "free-will" to blend in unity with the concept of pre-determined future.
Let us see it this way:
"A" is omniscience, so "A" knows now what is going to happen to him tomorrow. Assuming that this is predetermined, which means 'what he knows now' cannot be changed. If that can be changed, then he is no longer omniscience, as the future is not known to him. Supposing he also has free will, and he is ominipotent. So he can choose to change what is going to happen to him tomorrow by the assumption that he is omnipotent (can do anything). Now if he chose to change, then he is reversing of what he already knew a split second before he exercise his free will and omnipotent ability. So he could not know what is going to happen next, unless he knows what he is choosing to do. If he knows what he is going to choose, then he has no free will, since that is predetermined by his knowledge of what he is going to choose.....So you can go in circular arguement and you have to find out when this ominscience entity exercise his free will or to exercise his consciousness of knowing what is going to happen in the future.
Put it another way, if there is a choice, there is no way of knowing the future.
