"The biblical term, proginosko, does not carry with it only the meaning of simple advance knowledge or precognition. Rather, the term also carries with it the suggestion of intimate, personal knowledge, as well as the concept of selection or to determine upon."

"God does not say that He foreknew the decisions that individuals would make, but rather, He foreknew the individuals themselves."

Hmmmm....Mom? Haven't I heard these two statements somewhere before???

. Just checking.

Quite obviously, a great post!

"God does not say that He foreknew the decisions that individuals would make, but rather, He foreknew the individuals themselves."

Isn't that dangerously close to saying that God IS a respecter of persons?

Isn't that statement consistent with the thinking that God chooses his elect because of something that is in them? Something that he foreknew about them?

Just curious.
