if God created this particular world because He knew that our free choices in this particular world would bring Him the most glory (compared to other possible worlds, or no world at all), then didn't God create this particular world based on our free choices?
no, because God did not create this particular world to enable us to be saved by our free choices. God created this particular world to reflect His glory, and it just so happens that this particular world brings Him the most glory (compared to other possible worlds, or no world at all) as He enables us to be saved by our free choices.
God did not create this particular world based on our free choices. God created this particular world based on His knowledge of our free choices.
in other words, God's sovereign choice to create THIS particular world is based on His knowledge of ALL possible worlds, and God's knowledge of THIS particular world is based on His sovereign choice to create THIS particular world. God has middle knowledge in between His knowledge of ALL possible worlds and His knowledge of THIS particular world (ie. God has middle knowledge in His sovereign choice to create THIS particular world).
