One of the toughest nuts to crack is to explain how humans can enjoy free will if God is all-powerful and all-knowing, or nearly all-powerful or all-knowing.
I think that there is an answer to this riddle. Since the Mother and the Father and Jesus are Individuators and Creator deities of immense power and reach, they are law-makers and law-givers applying their divine reason or Logos to raw matter to make cosmos out of chaos. They are free and their wills are free.
They made humans too to self-realize and use their powers of free will and reasoned creativity to apply their Logos to making raw reality into cosmos in their limited but wonderful human exertion.
Though the major benevolent deities are all-powerful, they can allot say 20 units of power and 30 units of free will to each human to use as they will. These deities likely know the outcome of how each human each time and cumulatively over a lifetime will, but they gave their word not to interfered with humans making their moral choices, so they keep their word and do not deprive us of our power to make decisions.
In this way, humans can enjoy and wield free will, and be responsible for their choices of action, and God can see where they will land, but God’s omnipotence and omniscience will not interfere in human zones of free choice and free action undertaken.
