The only reason we think foreknowledge and choice are incompatible is because we think w’in the context of time. God is above time. He created time. For him to know the end from the beginning is part of what being above time entails.
As finite creatures w finite minds it is impossible for us to imagine the workings of the infinite mind of a Supreme Being who created everything we see and experience, including time. For that reason, it’s very easy to imagine that foreknowledge precludes choice. But knowing in advance how a person will decide does not force that decision. It only involves knowledge of the choice, a knowledge entirely possible for God precisely because He is not constrained by time as we know it.
Excellent analysis!
We think linearly in a timeline, while God is not constrained by time.
Analogy:
Time to us is events being pearls on a string stretched out horizontally and we go along the string and pass thru the pearls one at a time and can only see the one we are in or the ones we’ve gone through already.
Time to God is the pearls and string laid on a plate and viewed from the top down, they are seen all at once.
In addition there are an innumerable number of strings, each being a possible route.
