Are you making any headway yet? ;-)

I would say that God didn't merely foreknow me, but He entirely knew me (Psa 139, Exodus 4:11, etc. etc. etc.) Such is His "wonderful knowledge." This is why some say that God did the work of creating man with His "blinders" on. It is their way of getting around the fact that God knew who were His and who weren't before He created them and gave them each their individual abilities and desires and place and time of birth perfectly knowing the result of salvation or damnation for us in His actions towards us.

God envisioned a particular people for himself and he spoke that vision into reality. Grant God this and you give the entire Predestination debate to the Calvinist. Deny it and you should have some splaining to do!

Thankfully, my job isn't to do the actual enlightening.

I just need to do the 'splainin.
