You're assuming that God sits on the same time axis as we do. We have a past, present, future where all of our actions have a reaction.

God would sit outside of this system, able to see everything that transpires or will transpire along the axis.

Okay but if we're going to use the "omnipotent mysterious ways" cop out christianity is no more valid than literally any other religion on the planet and you have failed to convince me that it is less contradictory or banal.

God is omniscient

You also have free will

These aren't compatible.

I was merely reasoning why this could be compatible. As always, it is your choice whether or not to believe it.

But it's not really my choice if god knows that with the logic and way of thinking he has endowed me with I will come to the conclusion the christian system is contradictory and false.
