And becomes even more nonsensical from the perspective of an omniscient god-being.

It's one thing to think about human free will as given by a creator, but doesn't the creator also possess free will? But how can any creator possess free will if its own omniscience makes its own future already known? It would seem that such a being either does make choices and is not omniscient, or else is omniscient and does not possess free will itself.

But history which hasn't occurred yet doesn't exist. That's the gist of free will: that different futures are possible, depending on my choice, and that a unique future doesn't exist. How can God view something which doesn't exist ?
Past and present are not symmetric. My infallible knowledge (or the infallible knowledge of any being) about what I will choose tomorrow negates a free choice.
Apologists keep saying that, but never support it with an actual argument. If God can inerrantly know at all what I will choose tomorrow, then my choice isn't free by definition. A free choice means that no one can infallibly know or predict what the outcome will be.

Any other definition of free choice makes it as meaningless as the color of the Model T: "You can get any color you want, as long as the color is black".
