Who says that an omniscient god can know the choices that we are going to make with a 100% certainty?
The way that I see it, if we are truly moral free will agents then before we make a choice, the outcome of that choice does not exist to be known.
So an omniscient being would know all of reality, but before we make the choice it is not in reality to be known, therefore the being cannot know it.
In other words, if the outcome does not exist, then how can you expect an omniscient being to know something that does not exist?
Can an omniscient being know that there is a monkey sitting next to me, if is reality there is no monkey sitting next to me?
