Two things God's foreknowledge is not.

God is omniscient so there is no difference between Him foreknowing something that will happen and Him foreseeing something that will happen. As SBG said you are splitting hairs.

@37818 did God foresee or did He foreknow that you would come to faith in His son?

Ephesians 1:4, According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Foreknew us.

Yes He did but He could also foresee that you would come to faith in His son. There is no difference in the end result. You seem to forget that God is omniscient.
