depending upon variables of a circumstance.

The traditional theology of God is that God is omniscient. What variables exist with omniscience?

If someone is nice to a cop, that person may get a warning. If that person is a dick, they may get a ticket. That is a variable that influences the decision of the cop.

An omniscient God already knows what the person will choose before hand, eliminating variability.

Unless you subscribe to Open & Relational or Process Theology.
