My premise is that if the outcome of a future choice can be known in advance with 100% certainty then it can't actually be a free choice. I haven't asserted that God influences the choice. What I assert is that if an outcome CAN be known in advance then there MUST be a load of factors which can be computed which lead to the information about that future event. This is why I use the dice rolling as an example. It is possible to KNOW how any dice thrown on Earth will end up because every aspect of the throw is a physical thing being influenced by a gazillion factors, examples of which I've previously given (air temp, pressure, friction, earth's gravity and rotation etc).You cannot use human logic to find out God. And you haven't really offered an answer to the premise in the post you quoted. Your first premise, that God's foreknowledge influences your decision making, is unproven.
Now we as fickle humans don't have the computing power to know and process those gazillion variables BUT if we did we could KNOW in advance how the dice will end up.
Our life choices are no different. They are made because of a gazillion influencing factors which include our past memories, our state of health, the day and time, the chemicals racing around our bodies etc etc. Again as humans we just don't have the computing power to be able to process all those variables. BUT if we did we could know in advance every choice and every action that every human takes.
If there exists an Omniscient and Omnipotent God (and I don't believe there is) then he would have the power and ability to compute all these variables. Consequently the entire future of the universe, absolutely everything is known to him and it's just like a giant movie which he can view at any point, past, present and future. He knows the ultimate end point of mankind and the universe itself.
All this being the case then it should be evident that we don't have choices at all. We are simply acting under the principles of cause and effect. Those gazillion factors MAKE us do the things we do. We can't avoid it. No-one chose to crucify Jesus, it was always going to happen the moment the universe was created or came into being. Cause and effect. No-one chose to kill millions of people with a virus, it was always going to happen via complex cause and effect.
There's just no running away from this.
We have to accept that we either do not have any free will or choices or that there does not exist a being that is Omniscient.
Occam's Razor suggests the latter is the case.
Just because God is omniscient, does not mean He removes your choices.
He doesn't remove anything no. But the fact that he is Omniscient means IT MUST be possible to compute every variable in the universe and thereby know what will happen in the future. If that's possible then we have no choices.
We can in fact remove God entirely from this discussion. It is actually just the concept of Omniscience itself which is the problem.
If we are going to entertain the very notion of Omniscience then we must simultaneously accept there are no free choices. Omniscience basically means that everything is computable and thus knowable in advance and if that's the case there are no free choices, everything is predetermined.
I disagree with the above. For God to NOT be able to do something would undermine the concept of Omnipotence. God CAN and HAS done many things which are not loving. He has murdered men, women, children and babies. He has killed even unborn babies. He has sent bears to maul children, engaged in ethnic cleansing and ultimately genocide.Just because He is omnipotent, does not mean there are things He will not, even can not do. For example, He cannot do anything that contradicts His own innate character and nature, like lie, or do anything that denies His love. And that love demands choice. To deny choice negates love, and God is love.
If it had been Hitler or Pol Pot that had done this you would be utterly outraged and think him repugnant. Christians are sadly indoctrinated to compartmentalise these wicked actions recorded in the OT and sweep them under the carpet and ignore them. That is why most can not critical think. I've been there myself. Luckily I broke free.
