dyresand,
You need to do more than just make the assertion that foreknowledge contradicts free will. You need to justify the assertion.
I know that I will go to work tomorrow, but that foreknowledge does not constrain me. When I go to work I will do so of my own free will, enacted at the time. Why is God's foreknowledge any different?
I roll the dice. It could come up any number from 1 to 6, randomly. It comes up 6. Does the fact that it came up 6 make the roll any less random? Now that it came up 6 do we decide that was the only number that could have come up, with no other number possible? No. It was random. Why would God's foreknowledge of the roll make it any different?

So get this god is all knowing he knew humanity would fall he knows what everyone at any given point and time would be doing something. so even if we wanted to live a "sinless" life it would be purely impossible. Since god would know our actions a head of time that being said free will is just a illusion and were all drones. Free will if a god existed the chirstian god it simply doesn't exist only the illusion of free will does.
