He said to me, "What more can I do to get these people to leave me alone?" I didn't know what to tell him.
If God has made any choices, he made them all at once at some point in the past. He's not making any now, since he cannot differ from what he has known he will do beforehand at every point. If he does, then his knowledge was wrong.
The problem is that if someone is making a real choice, it is logically impossible that anyone can know the outcome of the choice beforehand. It's just a demonstration of why omni claims are absurd. If you "know enough that you can tell what they will do" then they are acting predictably, and not making any choice.
Pretty much exactly. god couldn't be omni everything. if god had free will he must not have knowledge of everything and the outcome, this in of itself would make god imperfect.
