The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum foreknowledge vs. election

And that was due to the fact that they redefined the word "foreknowledge" to mean simple prescience (knowledge of raw facts), which they alleged came to be known by God AFTER He peered down the annals of (pre) history and saw who it was that believed. Thus, they denied the doctrine of PREdestination and formulated their own doctrine which in essence is POSTdestination. Such a position denied the very deity of God since it impugns God's Omniscience, since there was something He did not know. It also impugns God's Omnipresence, since He had to peer into this alleged "history" (those acts of men) which He Himself did not create, He having no prior knowledge of them or their acts. And lastly, this view impugns God's Omnipotence since His decree, determination, or (pre)destining of men was not a self-determined act but one which was totally dependent upon the alleged acts of those who didn't even exist. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/dizzy.gif" alt="" />

What a convoluted view this was.... NO WAIT!! What a convoluted view this is, since it is preached, taught and believed by the vast majority of Evangelicals today. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wow1.gif" alt="" />
