    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?

    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.

    Your post is way to cryptic. What are you trying to say?
