The free will cope only works if you're a retarded open theist. In a classical christian framework, you have:
1. Motion exists and actions which proceed from the will move from potency to act. That which is moved has motion by virtue of itself or from another (God). An infinite regress is impossible. Therefore all actions derive their being from God.
2. That which God foreknows is either pure act or potency reduced to act. The former is impossible since things are only distinguished by unactualized potencies, therefore there cannot be many beings which are pure act, so the dilemma inevitably falls into the latter, meaning that everything God knows is known precisely because he made it so; otherwise you concede that God's eternal, unchanging, and perfect knowledge is dependent upon the free actions of creatures, which is fucking retarded.
Enjoy your free will anon, just remember next time you goon God is practically forcing your hand up and down your wet cock. Also remember next time you mourn the damnation of souls that God brought forth creation just to wait 4.5 billion years to do fuck all and then created humans just so he could set 90%+ of them on fire forever.
"The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps."
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him."
"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many."
"Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction"
