“You are defining known about him differently. You are implying causation.”
No, what I am asking is can a person change his mind and choose differently than what was known before he was born? In other words, can one be said to have chosen freely if his destiny was set by choices he was forseen to have made before he was born?
It seems to me that in your definition of sovereignty, all that is happening now is just a rerun of a movie that was seen in eternity passed and everyone’s destiny has been dertermined before they were born.
A person can change his mind--but that would also have been foreseen. The difference is that man was created to make that choice--not to be sent to hell for the sole purpose of revealing God's glory. Omniscience does not imply causation.

That is more like the calvinist view. I am arguing against that. People's destinies, while known beforehand, are not caused beforehand. We make those decisions.
