The "Middle Knowledge" theory

Middle Knowledge is a theological concept suggesting that God has knowledge of all possible outcomes of any situation—what people might choose in any circumstance—even if those choices haven't been made yet. This enables God to foresee how free beings would act under different circumstances and thus plan the best course of action, including salvation. It bridges the gap between God's omniscience (all-knowing) and human free will by accounting for potential choices, not just actual ones. Essentially, it explains how divine foreknowledge and human freedom can coexist coherently.
