Your argument stands on a faulty definition of "omniscience". You define it as knowing everything. God knows all that is knowable, but there are places in the Bible where God is learning. Future choices of man are not necessarily known by God because they do not yet exist.. There is an omnicient God and there is free will. You will be held accountable for your choices.
Up until your second last sentence you were making some sense. You are correct when you say that "god" is learning. And yes, god knows all that is "knowable" which is only that which existed before the creation of randomness and free will. After THAT creation, god was no longer omniscient because the creation included random behavior and free will. When there is randomness and free will there can be no prophecy fore they are opposites.
Either there is free choice, which creates a randomness of possible futures, or there is an omniscient god who knows everything that will happen before it happens, in which case there was no free will because if something is known before it happens then all those people who were involved in making something happen, as was theoretically pre-known, they really could not have a choice or free will. Either there is a god who knows what will happen or there is free will. It CANNOT be both.
