For my fellow LDSers.
We believe God is Omniscient, right?
We believe in free will, right?
How do we reconcile the two? If God knows everything then he knows what choices we're going to make. I understand the plan of salvation is for His glory and our progression, but if he already knows the outcome then how can we have free will? I don't know the outcome so I might have free will, but it seems it's only an illusion because if God already knows the outcome and if he is a perfect God and can't be wrong, then my choice is not what I chose, but what he already knows I will chose.
