1) There isn't a single question mark in your previous response.
2) I already answered that question by saying it isn't applicable. God knows all, no time travel necessary. But, no it wouldn't nullify the free will aspect of that particular scenario which does not apply.
No need to indulge in any time travel here. You have a deterministic path because every outcome is known from birth until death. You cannot deviate from this path. Do you agree?

Does God know all simply because he knows all, or does he know 'all' because he has a different perspective of spacetime than us? I'm not saying God time travels, I'm using that as an analogy to theorize a non-fixed perspective of time (something difficult to envision from a fixed perspective of time). Also, saying something is not applicable is not the same as answering the question.

I answered your question. Now answer mine. I bolded it for you. Omniscience is all, irrespective of perspective. He would know everything from all perspectives, again by definition. You keep abusing ambiguousity here when there isn't any. All is all. End of. Answer the question.

I disagree with that statement, because observation or non-observation does not fundamentally change the processes in my mind/soul that result in the decision, those processes are the same in either scenario (unless some greater force is 'pulling the strings', which I don't believe). I also don't think that a computer calculating my choice would nullify the choice, as the choice happens in my mind and is not influenced or caused by the calculation of the computer (as long as I did not know what the computer had calculated I would choose).
