You can't make the choice and such a belief leads to Calvin.
Free will and omnicience are mutually exclusive and are relatively recent
concepts.
So is the idea that a god is perfect in all things.
A perfect god would not be able to change and the stories in the bible show
a very man like god who gets mad, changes his mind, and forgives.
The gods were made by man and features added after the fact to explain
things.
