I don't think God knows whether we are going to be saved. It is not a question of whether He could or not. In creating us, God made us in His image. We are "God-like" in the sense that we write our own destiny. This was given to us as a gift when He created us. Consider the following: If God knew our (individual) fate, and it was bad, would He not *change* it... particularly if He knew that we could not help but act otherwise?
