And if God has perfect foreknowledge of all things, that includes those He will adopt. The knowledge in Gal. 4 is speaking of relationship. Not the same thing that I’m talking about.

Yes. God God could see the future before the fpundation of the world, just as He can now. If He couldn’t, that would amount to Him learning new things and increasing in knowledge. Does God increase in knowledge? That would imply imperfection in knowledge. Which is open theism So you are...

That’s what elect means in 1 Peter 1:2 also?

I gave several scriptures to John 14:6. And you said you weren’t an open theist. To say that God has limited foreknowledge is open theism.

So you don’t think God knows who’s going to be saved and who’s not, until they get saved or die lost That’s limiting God.

Ephesians 1:4-5 Romans 8:29-30 Isaiah 44:7- one of the evidences that God gives that there is no one like Him, is that He knows and can declare the future. Are you going to put limitations on this Divine Perfection? Isaiah 46:9-10 Isaiah 41:23

Acts 15;18, not 8.

He doesn’t know beforehand that you will be saved, and therefore adopted.

So God didn’t know beforehand you would believe and therefore be adopted?

Keep reading.

Try Acts 15:18. What does it say?

If you think God didn’t know we would be saved before we were saved, that is open theism. If you want scripture about Gods perfect foreknowledge, start in Isaiah 42 and read until you find the passages. I tthink it’s like chapters 42-46.

What does this have to do with foreknowledge and predestination

So we weren’t predestined to be adopted until we believed. It logically follows He knew He was going to adopt us before He chose to adopt us. Interesting.

When?

Red Herring alert!! Has nothing to do with what you’re replying to.

Are you an open theist?

How does God know infallibly He’s going to do something ( like adopt us) before He makes a choice that He will indeed do it? So God knew infallibly that He was going to adopt us from eternity past, but He hadn’t decided ( chosen) whether He was going to do it or not. Lol

You said election is unto service and calling. And predestination is unto glorification To elect is to choose and to predestinate is to foreodain Chosen unto a purpose. Predestined to adoption/glorification But God didn’t choose or predestinate until we chose, according to you. So this...

God didn’t know He was going to adopt you until you were saved? So He didn’t know all things from eternity past. Open theism.
