Is God bound by his knowledge of his own destiny? Does he have free will?

Question:Omniscience is the capacity to know everything infinitely, or at least everything that can be known about a character including thoughts, feelings, life and the universe, etc. In monotheism, this ability is typically attributed to God. This concept is included in the Qur'an, where God is called "Al-'aleem" on multiple occasions. This is the infinite form of the verb "alema" which means to know. In Hinduism God is referred to as sarv-gyaata (omniscient), sarv-samarth (omnipotent) and sarv-vyapt (omnipresent); where sarv-gyaata means sarv (all) gyaata (knowing).Some modern theologians argue that God's omniscience is inherent rather than total, and that God chooses to limit his omniscience in order to preserve the freewill and dignity of his creatures.Certain theologians of the 16th Century, comfortable with the definition of God as being omniscient in the total sense, chose to rebuke created beings' ability to choose freely, and so embraced the doctrine of predestination.
God stands outside time, and therefore can know everything free agents do, since He does not know these facts "in advance", he knows them before they are even conceived and long after the actions have occurred. The free agent's future actions therefore remain contingent to himself and others in linear time but are logically necessary to God on account of His infallibly accurate all-encompassing view. This was the solution offered by Thomas Aquinas.

It is hard to believe, for me anyway, that God is bound by anything.
I think it is fairly safe to assume that God does have free will, wouldn't this go some way to explaining the inconsistencies in our religions?

Since God is omnipotent, I think he would have free will.

Thinking about this question makes me wonder. He could be bound by science or politics. People did ask for a king and he did warn the people that all they needed was him. So if i was to say i would say bound by politics and science all sciences. So he would have to be clever to get his direction in the mix.

God sees many destinies and posibilities by seeing them - they happen to be possible. God includes God in omniself no boundary or limitation.

Although Im agnostic I like to think of God this way.

God is beyound any destiny and knowledge. He can not be bound by any rules. Will and wish exist when there are two separate existencen. Everything is included in the God. Yes but new creations in the universe take place with His Will so we can say he has free will.

HMmm i think of it as their might be a greater force bounding him but what would bound that force if god is the creator shouldnt he have his own free will or is he something for us to believe in like a decoy or pawn to a greater force or is their a neverending line of greater forces.But i feel kinda off the subject right now lol sorry im a heavy thinker it scares me....
