Okay, let’s take this one step at a time. Do you affirm that the future is unknowable by God since the decisions of “free agents” have not yet been made? OR, do you agree that God can foresee our choices?

That’s another fallacy, a false dichotomy. God exists outside of our universe, and isn’t constrained to our limited perception of the things in it. To speak of the “future”, from God’s perspective, as something not written, is not sensible, as time is an attribute of God’s creation and He is not bound by it. Even to speak of something being “unknowable” to God is not sensible, for He is omniscient. In order to try to force this bad logic, you are forced to downgrade your conception of God to that of a lesser being. I think that should be a big clue to you that you are on the wrong track.
