So how, if God already knows what you will choose, how can you have "free will"?
And why, if'n He made us that way, and He loves us, is he prepared to consign us, His children, to a Fiery Pit for all Eternity for making choice that he already knew we would make?

Stuart I already answered this question for you a month ago. Put simply, God doesn't have to be bound by your rules. It doesn't matter whether his abilities make sense to you or not. He knows what will happen but does not control what will happen like a puppetmaster. In regards to hell, hell (eternal separation from God...not necessarily a fiery pit) is simply the just results of not having a relationship with God through his son, Jesus Christ. God doesn't condemn you to hell, you condemn yourself to hell. God sacrificed his son to allow humans to be able to reunite with him and enter heaven. That sounds pretty benevolent to me.
