The difference is in our assumptions. To you free will is illusory given divine foreknowledge. To me free will is real because my actions are predicated on my own choices rather than on God's foreknowledge. Which set of assumptions is better? Could it be taken as a matter of choice? Perhaps future contributors could look into the consequences of the two different sets of assumptions.
