Right. So, he would tell you “5”. The fact that @whatistrue is thinking today that he’s gonna pick “3” is immaterial. He actually picks “5”. God wouldn’t be ‘fooled’ in such a way that He would be reading his mind today and therefore respond, “3”. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean that @whatistrue isn’t really pondering and doesn’t really choose “5” on his own accord. It doesn’t happen because God knows it; rather, God knows it because it will have happened.He already knows what you are going to pick tomorrow .
Why would he answer “3”? It’s not what happens, so why would He tell you that it does? I’m not sure how you’re reaching this conclusion, but it’s erroneous. At best, your thought experiment might go like this:I mean, God is omniscient, so He obviously knows and He says you’ll pick number three.
God: “5”
Freddy: “no, no, no! You’re wrong! He intends to pick ‘3’!!!”
God: "Whatever, man. Wait and see… "
