If he thinks, he cannot be all-knowing.
But what I truly don't understand is all this talk about "God's Plan"...
How can an omniscient, omnipotent God need plans? Plans are a limitation of power.
We make plans because we are not all-knowing nor all-powerful. In order for God to have a plan, or design, is to make him as humanistic as you or I. Limited.
Is God limited? Or he doesn't have a plan?

i agree, but they never will, not in a million years. they have an agenda, that is they must defend their fairy tales at all costs, they've made up their minds to questions that have not yet been asked to them yet, they'll never admit it, they'll never agree, on any thing, even if your correct.

God cannot be omnipotent, have a plan and allow free will. His plan is completely dependent on everybody else's will. Even his little Jesus plan could have fallen apart if Jesus had said no in the Garden of Gethsemane or if Pilate would have decided to allow the Jews to stone Jesus. It is obvious from the tale that we didn't choose for Jesus to die for our sins. God forced that on us. I think that according to the story the way the Jews were doing it was working just fine.

...And you are correct, if God has a "plan", then it can only have a foggy outcome if we have free will. He also loses his omnipotence if free will by definition means that he cannot absolutely, for sure, know how we will choose.
Therefore the only other way you can look at this is if man has a damaged free will and cannot look to God for salvation of his own ability. This would require the omniscience and the predestination of God in selecting who will be saved out of a world of those that are already damaged and belong in the scrap pile of hell, based on their guilt that is already present and has been present in their lives since Adam.
And if you can adjust your thinking to this different way of looking at salvation, then God can be unlimited and sovereign, but with the grace that brings his own unto himself.

What is the point of your question?
It doesn't matter if God has a plan or if She doesn't have a plan. Christian Fundamentalists what the Bible to dictate foreign policy and have the Book of Revelations come to pass so the second coming arrives soon. So they are the ones we should be questioning.

He has a purpose.. That is to undo what happened in the garden of Eden. His Kingdom government will santify His name and His sovereignty will be made known to all!
This is His right to rule over all mankind with His Son Jesus directing His work.

You are playing games with semantics. God is all knowing because he thinks. And God has a "plan" in the sense that he has already known how time and history will unfold.

We cannot rely on our own understanding. God is God.
