Foreknowledge not just information
“When the Bible speaks of God’s foreknowledge,
it is never speaking of God’s gathering information about events over which He
had no control. God is not passive, but active, in foreknowledge. ‘Him, being
delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken,
and by wicked hands have crucified and slain’ (Acts 2:23).
God did not just gather information ahead of time that Jesus would be crucified
at the hands of wicked men. He determined
it by His foreknowledge according to His own counsel. It did not just
happen to turn out that way, and He had advance information about it. It turned
out that way because He had before determined it should.” – Conrad
