This question is actually pretty interesting, but the answer is simple lol. Youre getting caught up in the causation part of the free will, that God’s knowing the future determines what you will do in the present. Youre using logic to try and explain something thats beyond it. You cant use this outcome - which you havent even seen btw - to explain the facet of something that, to us, we cant comprehend. Its like trying to explain color to a blind person. We can try, but its impossible to do, because people blind from birth have no concept of colors. The fact that God knows what will happen does not take away the freedom of will, because we cant see the future like he can. We can try to correlate the two concepts, explain in what ways time could work or pretend like we know for certain that God’s foresight is set in stone or even linear, but we cant “see” the 4th dimension of time so we do not know. Maybe our choices create alternate universes and God is watching all of them. Maybe its the other way around and God’s foresight really is caused by our choices. Maybe the “future” does not actually exist as a concept and is not really part of the everything that God knows. We can only theorize, but we dont know the full extent of God’s power, or the extensive strings of our reality in the slightest. If we somehow understood how time worked in its full capacity, maybe it would still not make sense, but the only part that matters is that God is not moving us along by strings, and we do not know the future until it gets here. That is enough to make our choices our own.
