My opinion is that if He hasn't, then that is a chink in the armor of the word OMNIscience

As my Nazarene pastor once said..foreknowledge=predestination.

Welcome to the swarm :>))

Rn, OP and I have discussed this at some length. There is absolutely nothing that prevents a theology of predestination based on absolute foreknowledge. He agrees with that, however, he considers foreordination the prime principle rather than foreknowledge.

What I can't get around is that, at a minimum, they HAD to be simultaneous, and if anything, God knew what He was going to decide BEFORE He did it. He absolutely had to know in concert with what He was deciding.

I don't know if this is clear as mud, but it's a sharp discussion ongoing within me for months now.
