Subject: How does foreknowledge preclude free? |
Bible Note: Hello bstudent, As Tim Moran has pointed out, foreknowledge and foreordination are separate issues that can be confused. You are correct that we proceed with caution. However, foreknowing does not logically lead to foreordaining. I offer the following: Luke 10:13 (ESV) "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Here is a clear example of God knowing what would happen under a set of conditions, yet it never does. This demonstrates that God knows all--both the real and the potential. Can you demonstrate Scripturally that God does not always choose to know the future? I haven't seen it, although I haven't read all your posts either. Steve |
