Ah, but now we see you do have a problem with #346.

What is my problem? I thought I agreed with you. Explain why I have a contradiction and why Arminians have a problem.

BTW if the Arminians have a problem, then that is their problem, not mine.

Explain why I have a contradiction.

Please reread my post #352.

If God was going to change anything in time, it would already exist within the mind of God as reality. Just like the sports scores in the Almanac.

God doesn't change His mind. We may perceive it as such. But logically, if God knows everything, then all contingencies have already been explored and all choices determined by Him.

In a single instant, God possesses all knowledge of all eternity. More than that, He creates all eternity.

You say you accept this notion; but you falter in accepting the logical consequences of a God who is truly sovereign.

I really believe if you keep pondering this, it will come into focus. It eventually did for a lot of us.

Like Gamecock said, it is very humbling. And egalitarian. And most reassuring. Sola Fide. Praise God.
