All knowing. No surprise.

Foreknowing what the results would be, God created man, including Adolf and Teresa and you and I, with free will.

That means that at birth there’s no way to change the results.

God thinks of shaping pot A and says to Himself based on His knowledge, “This one is going to end up in the trash.” Then He makes it, and it ends up in the trash.

God thinks of shaping pot B and says to Himself based on His knowledge, “This one is going to end up on the shelf.” Then He makes it, and it ends up on the shelf.

God PLANS the shape of pot A and says to Himself, “This one is going to end up in the trash.” Then He makes it, and it ends up in the trash.

God PLANS the shape of pot B and says to Himself, “This one is going to end up on the shelf.” Then He makes it, and it ends up on the shelf.

No difference between foreknowing and planning in terms of end results.....which God knows ahead of time.
