i don't think its completely necessary to assume that since God may know all our actions that we have no choice. Just because I know my roommate won't wash the dishes doesn't mean that he doesn't have the choice to wash the dishes in the first place. Granted, I don't "know" he won't in the sense that I'm completely certain. But, maybe God is so in tune (more so than i am w/my roommate) with the universe that he is able to "know" these things w/out actually infringing on our ability to make a choice.
There is also a good chance that we are not able to comprehend God's perspective on time, especially with the assumptions made about God in this particular discussion.
hmm...
