Great! I think that I do understand your position. It is what I mean when I do say that God created "blindly." However, free will is entirely outside of the question. Man can have whatever amount of free will you want to give him. Is God's foreknowledge based upon His actions towards man or man's actions toward Him?
BTW, the reason that I flag someone is because they do have an interest in the post, not that I need to tag team you. I'm perfectly willing to discuss it in isolation. However, when I do paraphrase my friend, I like to let him know that I am shamelessly stealing "his ideas."
That really isn't the issue at all, CC. The issue is whether GOD CREATED/GAVE real free will to humans. God would not be blinded in any way.
