Why would a loving, omniscient God create a soul that He knows before its creation will,

Job asked questions like that. That's all the answer you will get.

Yes, that's the same or similar question Job asked. The, then Jewish god, got very angry at the question. On further thinking, the Jewish god decided to come down to earth and live like a man and suffer like Job. Only then did the Jewish god understand the suffering of Job.

"Father why have you forsaken me?!?" Well, that was the same question Job asked. It was after that question that god forgave man for his sins forever. Christ is the answer to Job's question.
