Tertullian does not deny Divine Foreknowledge; nor do I insist on God's overriding man's freedom. Would Tertullian say that God cannot override it? He merely does not want to, -- separates his power from man, -- just like I said in 2202.

I took your comment in 2202 to mean that God's "plan" was in fact, as FK said, dependant on man's decisions "in a mathematical sense". The fact that God has foreknowledge doesn't mean He is bound by man. He is bound by Himself only.
