He is the one who says that God can't know the future except via his omnipotence. Boettner is the one who discounts God's omniscience.

Think about it a minute. You seem to believe that the fact I know there will be a cake on my table tomorrow is more important than me knowing I am going to make it and put it there. It will exist because of a work of my hands making and putting it there..

I know the sun is coming up tomorrow (my foreknowledge) that does not redound to my glory

I can not conceive that to know something in advance is more significant than knowing it because I did it as a part of my plan.

What a helpless impotent and useless god man worships today .

If you knew you were baking a cake tomorrow, and you predicted that cake would be there, and you died tonight, then there would be no cake tomorrow.

You would have just proven the difference between foreknowing as a separate ability and foreknowing based on the ability to foreplan.
