Mind-blow: Our choices are not pre-determined, but God knows

Not a very solid foundation you're on. You're basically saying since he has one option to view decisions in a non-temporal manner, that negates his ability to view them in one. An omniscient being would view them in every manner; as such, the temporal view is certainly subject to the same logical statements I've presented.

Simple example:

Milk or OJ <-- your illusion of choice, the ominscient being already knows you've chosen one of them. You cannot choose a different one than is already known. 

He knows, only because you made the choice already. But he knows before you made the choice. He only knows based on the foundation that the choice was already made. That's foreknowledge.

You are misunderstanding what foreknowledge is. Foreknowledge isn't going to time t to witness a particular decision then moving back to a time prior to t to wait for it. It's knowing before witnessing the decision.

You have not made any decisions at time 0, but an omniscient being already knows every outcome. <- this is foreknowledge.
