That is the contradiction which arises when those beliefs are apposed.
Yes, I believe He knows what we will choose. But that doesn't mean He is responsible for us choosing it, or forcing us to choose it. He knows that even though we all make immoral choices at times, in the end, the good of having free will is going to outweigh the bad. That's His plan.
Peace be upon you
Your argument is just asserting though.
He shows an argument to why we would have no free-will. You have not shown why that argument fails other then asserting the conclusion is wrong.
Human free-will is only possible if there is more then one possible outcome in will steering.
If God knows the will you will steer before you do it, there is only one possible outcome (the one God knows will happen).
Therefore God knowing all future and human free-will is not possible.
You cannot simply deny the conclusion. You have to address either why 1 is wrong or why 2 is wrong or both. You can't simply deny the conclusion.
