.You are right -- the authors, writing by divine revelation about God's foreknowledge does require any understanding of how that actually works. But to understand what they have to say about God's foreknowledge is a matter of interpretation (any time we attempt to think about and say what a passage means, we are engaging in interpretation). So it is always appropriate to consider both the understanding of the author and of his audience. What did they understand it to mean, and what did they understand it to include. Did they think that everything about the future was knowable? It's fine to have a philosophical theology about God and the cosmos and time. And it's fine to gather a bunch of passages and wook them all together into a systematic theology. But that does not take the place of exegesis, or of considering what the biblical authors meant by what they said as they said it. Sometimes we have to go back and question our philosophical and systematic theology and take a closer look at the Scriptures, what they say -- and what don't say.
@@@I'd like to see where the Bible defines God's foreknowledge as limited rather than exhaustive. The burden of proof is on you.
Yes, God is a God of all ability. But he can't make a rock so big he can't lift it. He can't make a four-sided triangle.
@@@You don't know that he cannot do those things. If he did then that would defy logic which is the fabric that us human beings operate within and that would not relate well to our world, his creation. Which may be the reason why he does not do such things. Your ability to fit those things into your mind is completely besides the question.
It may be that a thing that does not actually exist, a choice that has not actually been made, an act that has not actually been committed, is not actually knowable. I gladly affirm that God knows everything that is actually knowable.
@@@You don't know that the future doesn't exist. Again, the burden of proof that the Bible declares God's foreknowledge to be limited, is on you.
