Hello Rabbi, my friend suggested a solution to the question of knowledge and choice. I wanted to get your opinion.
Putting it this way (‘things that I choose from the future’), it is difficult to understand how this excuses the issue, because it is still – future, it has not happened yet, so where is the excuse here?!
Rather, I am saying that since God is not limited by time as we are limited by it, he is supposedly standing in the future anyway, after all the events, after we have already made our choices, and therefore he knows what we chose without it affecting the choice.
In other words, we can say: what for us is future, for him is supposedly past.
Think of it like a person who is on the last day of the world, and knows what we will do and what we have chosen, so God is already in the present (but the fact that it is present and not past – is from our perspective. From his perspective, it is already past).
I hope I managed to clarify myself?

This is the ”explanation” that is always given. To me, it is nonsense. It doesn't matter at all where he stands and who he is. The question for me, as one who lives in the timeline: Does he now know what I will do in the future? If so, – I have no freedom to choose tomorrow. What do I care where he “stands” and what his relationship to time is?!
