This is one of those questions that can not be answered, because it deals with many things, namely paradox, God's omnipresence, freedom of choice and destiny. All are tough topics that baffled philosophers since the dawn of time.
Example: If God is Omnipresent, then He is everywhere; past present and future both time and space. Therefore He already knows what I am going to do tomorrow.
If tomorrow I wake up and pick up my gun and intentionally kill someone, why would God punish me? Have I not done nothing but carrying out His futuristic knowledge?
Well, if I do not kill, then the only conclusion is the so called God's futuristic knowledge can be avoided. If so, then He does not have a futuristic knowledge, otherwise if he does, it should prevail, and if it does prevail, he should not punish me, simply because I have just obeyed and carried out what his futuristic knowledge is about.
Do I have a choice in the matter? I do not know.
Good luck in your search. If you find a reasonable answer, please contact me.

You speak as satan speaks. God is sovereign. He has no need of any other. He knows His Origin is from everlasting to everlasting and He has no finite need of counsel from any creature. Whereas you are a creature, are not self-determining nor appointing.
Justice and Truth are sovereign in God, and without humility you will have no one to stand for you before the sovereignty of God, for if you are ashamed to confess Christ, then He shall not claim or intercede for you on the day of judgment. satan is known by his works, and if he is your father, then you shall go the way intended for him. When the books are open, the secrets of men are revealed, and they are chained together who call satan their father. A simple Word suffices then to consume the elements in fire.
The Holy Spirit brings every man to consequential knowledge. This is why blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the eternal sin.
Because sealing off one's soul from the Spirit, dwelling in the corrupting sin of the flesh and of the knowledge of evil, brings one to baseness and refuses correction. This chain is woven in satan and ties one to the bottomless pit. Yet God in his mercy hears the pitiful cries of the lost, and loosens their bonds in the hope that they will race back to be delivered from him for who fire is the only companion.
In the words of a popular song: fire is the devil's only friend.
Save yourself with the whole and complete Word of God, uncorrupted and unblemished for all time. Call upon the Holy Spirit and you shall be enlightened, and a pathway made for you to escape the just causes of the Lord to rid the world of evil, and to save all who call upon His Holy Name.
St. Peter called all men to be:
1:23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever.
1:24. For all flesh is as grass and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered and the flower thereof is fallen away.
1:25. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you.
1:4. Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot fade, reserved in heaven for you
St. John saw the end of time and wrote:
21:4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and death shall be no more. Nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for the former things are passed away
21:7. He that shall overcome shall possess these things. And I will be his God: and he shall be my son.
I pray that the most Holy Spirit will guide you along right path to the perfect fulfillment of Life in Christ Jesus+ the Lord.

There's a distinct difference between things born of The Spirit and things born of the flesh.

I will ask you a similar question. You phrase your question in a way that is insulting and judgemental toward God. You are not open to an answer that is open to God, so why ask?
