3. I think you are talking mnore about omniscience, but the point stands
It's very simple. A creator deity who knows everything and can do anything obviously mapped out the destiny of every single atom in his creation before it was created. Because if he did not, he either lacked the knowledge of what would happen or lacked the power to change it (or of course, intended it to be exactly as it is/was/will be).

Any such deity completely destroys the concept of free will and human ability to determine our own fate (including salvation).
