Free Will And God's Knowledge
A person committed a murder. God knew way before that he’d commit a murder.
The question is, was he able to avoid committing that murder?

God knows whether or not a person will commit murder using his own free will and after making his own independent decision.
On a miniature level (just to get some hint), just the way a good teacher knows whether or not his particular student will pass an exam by doing hard work on his own. Just because a teacher knows the outcome, doesn’t mean the free will of the student to do hard work has been compromised.
The example of teacher is the best we can understand at human level. We do not have the knowledge and competence to know the mechanics of such things when it comes to God, who is the creator of the universe and all powerful and all knowing

Teacher can be wrong. Student can try and pass the exam. If God knows something, one can not do otherwise. he must do what god knows. there is necessity. does it negate free will?
