That does not make sense. All-knowing and all-powerful do not in any way limit free will. God knows what will happen not because he has seen it, but because he can anticipate all of the steps leading up to you freely choosing to do something. Free will just means that you are choosing an action that is not causally determined by factors outside of yourself--not that no one knows what you are going to choose.
