If he doesn't know what choice we will make than he is not omniscient.

A bit of a jam but, luckily for christians, they can just make up whatever wacko excuse they want and the people will buy into without question.

God is above and beyond time.
Just as a computer programmer is above and beyond the program he/she creates, so God is above and beyond the program (us) that He created.
God exists outside of time therefore right now He is at the beginning of our time and is at the end. He is with you now as you are being born and He is with you now at your death. He never changes. He's the same God in the past as the God in the future and it's all present at once to him even though we are living 'in time'.
He 'experiences' it all at once .. outside of time.
(and experience is the wrong word, but it's the closest I can come up with right now)
