Respectfully, you still haven't answered the question. And it is the answer to that question that helps us understand who God is.

If God is omniscient and thus has "known" from before the foundation of the world that you will oversleep tomorrow and miss your bus, is there any chance you will wake up on time and catch your bus?

Or are there some things God didn't know at the foundation of the world? Is God's knowledge of His creation only partial knowledge?

The answer to the question is no. But it only addresses God’s omniscience, not TULIP’s predestination.

I really don’t see why this is so difficult a point to make.

That God knows what choices I will make does not mean I do not have choices to make.

Is that clearer?

Or:

I can choose to stay up late tonight. Or choose not to. God already knows which one I will choose, not which one He will make me choose.

I can keep going with ‘em if you’d like.. :)
