>KNOWING what will happen is not the same as CAUSING it to happen
God is literally the cause of everything, the first cause. Everything else follows his decision to create reality, and therefore is a consequence of his action

>He chose to actualize teh world where YOUR FREE CHOICES lead to the outcomes He desires
It's not really a choice if it was predetermined an infinity ago. It's merely the illusion of choice

>think of it like a perfect chess analyst who knows every move you'll make, but you're still the one moving the pieces
It's more like a man creating chess, creating his opponent from scratch, creating the components of his opponent from scratch, programming his opponent, and knowing exactly what his opponent will do because he programmed it that way, with perfect absolute foreknowledge
