Perhaps you can explain how you reconcile these two aspects of your beliefs: One, that if a being is omnicient, it knows by definition everything that is going to happen in the future before it happens;
Two, if you have free will, and are thus allowed to vary the way you proceed along your path, then everything that is going to happen in the future is not known in advance by any omniscient being.
It would seem that one way to reconcile this would be to hold or speculate that the omniscient being has given you the illusion of free will, so that you can therefor believe in both aspects at the same time - but this could also mean he has given you insufficient skills to spot the contradictions involved. Not to worry - we all suffer from lack of those skills one way or the other.
