The relationship between God's foreknowledge (or omniscience) and the free will of humans seems to be a complicated topic where multiple positions exist.
Regardless of my position (which you can read about here: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/101932/how-do-non-open-theists-reason-a-basis-for-free-will and https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/101985/how-would-an-open-theist-explain-that-gods-exhaustive-foreknowledge-would-lead)
I think it would be helpful to have an overview of all the various positions that arose (including Open Theism).
The main questions I have for each position would be:
- How do they imagine God's foreknowledge works?
- Is God's foreknowledge exhaustive or limited?
- What are the biggest biblical arguments they put forward?
- Do humans have "free will" and if so, how does it work?
- Do they avoid Fatalism/Predeterminism? If so how?
