aren't omnipotent (power) and omniscient (sp? knowledge) two different things?
I like to think that God built this big mall, with a whole bunch of shops that are good and bad. He doesn't know which shops you are going to go into, and the devil is the guy doing all the advertisments.
Free will then is subjective to how powerful your will power is... unless of course you take into consideration that everyone you have ever come into contact with has impacted your life in such a way that almost every single thing we do is actually, in one way or another, replicated from someone else. Therefore, the possibility of actually coming up with a 100% unique thought is very small because no one is without something else they have learned from someone else that forms their idea.
But then again, I assume that if someone knew something was going to happen in the future doesn't effect you because it is you who is going to do it and that person is only reporting the information.
I guess, anyway. I don't know.
