The Bible teaches that God has perfect foreknowledge and also that we have a degree of freedom by His Grace. These concepts do not exclude each other. We just can’t connect them, because we are not God.

Does God have unlimited foreknowledge? Yes or no?

So then you’re an open theist by confession, because God does not know what He’s going to do with us until after we believe. Ok. You can believe that. I don’t.

My argument is that God knows who will be saved before they are saved, and also that He knows from all eternity what He will call us to. If He didn’t, He would be imperfect in knowledge, and if He is imperfect in knowledge, that means He is learning as time progresses. If that’s what you think...

Not at all. I’m focused on what we know about God. It is rather elementary to know and understand that God knows who is going to be saved beforehand and how He is going to use them. A God that is not omniscient is a silly concept.

It’s not about the nature and attributes of Paul or who he is. It’s about the nature and attributes of God and who HE is. You’re too focused on man’s side. Does God have foreknowledge of super Christians before they are born, but a lesser degree of foreknowledge for us not so super Christians?

Does The Scripture Teach A God That Has Limited Foreknowledge?

There are some things that are true of everyone. One is that God knows everything about us before we are born. That includes what He will call us to. To deny this is to argue for imperfections in God’s knowledge. You have to deny Omnipresence to consistently hold your view.

So you think you were elected by God to some service before God foreknew you as a son? Don’t know how that would work. And if you claim that God didn’t foreknow you before you were saved, you are arguing for God having imperfect knowledge.

John outlived Paul, and certainly understood the meaning and intent of Jesus’ words, when He said “Go and make disciples OF ALL NATIONS. He said this to the eleven.

No, because you keep saying that Israel must be saved before the Gospel can go into the world. Or at least you were saying that was true of John. Was Polycarp John’s disciple? What think you?

You took that big bull by the horns yourself, huh?

Who is teaching Hindu fatalism? You read too many slanderers who are children of those who slandered Paul and the Gospel. Beware!

Does God elect people to ministry whose future salvation is not foreknown by Him? No.

It hasn’t happened yet You have it backwards, btw. Israel will be saved when the fulness of the Gentiles has come in...

The overarching truth of Gods Soveriegnty. Your view of God is a God that is not soveriegn. If you haven’t read the Bible and seen God restraining evil here, and permitting it there, but in so doing He is working all things after the council of His own will, you’re not reading with much...

The biggest flaw in your argument is that national salvation ( spiritual restoration) of Israel as a nation has not happened YET.

How could Paul be a chosen vessel to bear God’s name if It was uncertain whether he would be saved or not? See, you have a big hole in your argument. You say that predestination is after salvation. But that’s not what the scripture teaches. You cannot show one passage that says...

God does not elect people to ministry that He does not foreknow to be His. Do you think God elected a person’s ministry while their eternal destiny is uncertain and contingent? So you hold that God elected everyone, but some who God elects end up being non elect. It would have to be so if...

And God knows each one who is part of His Church, AND ALWAYS HAS. To deny this is to assert imperfection in the knowledge of God. The God you believe in is not Omniscient. YHWH, the God I believe in IS omniscient.
