Free-will and choice are bound to linear time and we travel time from past to future. There is nothing preventing God from seeing our whole life at once, including all our choices, and being all-knowing while preserving our free will.
Except that freewill had nothing to do with linear time at all. Even if my consequences to choices act in a nonlinear manner, I can still make the choice.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
