Known to God (God's knowledge and Man's free will)

Concerning God's knowledge and will and man's free will, I take a simple position that...God knows what man will do, and God knows what He will do.

I also like to say that free will is *figured in* to what God will do.  I don't think it's necessary to think God doesn't know everything, even though it may seem to support at least a soft determinism, God knows what our free will actions will be.  And if this means that the future is fixed, because God knows what we will do, and what He will do, well then, it must be. 

If one suggests that God chooses not to know everything, so that free will is truly free will, then we have a problem with when God chooses to know anything about someone, because if the cutoff point is before one comes to saving faith, then nothing can be known about them at some point prior to and after their salvation, because to be ignorant of their future salvation would require Him to know nothing about them, less that ignorance be violated (and free will would seem to be fixed).   How could this even work?  If God knows the future, he must know our free will choices and the outcomes.

James said concerning God...

"Known to God from eternity are all His works."  Acts 15.18

Concerning future actions of men, we have some of these examples prophesied, revealing that God knows...

Moses said concerning Israel... 

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed. And the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will drive you." Debut 4:26-27

Apostle Paul warned the Ephesian elders, "For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves." Acts 20.29-30

Jesus said to Peter, "'when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.' This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God." John 21.18-19
