Foreknowledge/Remembrance Cont.

If God has no knowledge, then Omniscience refers to God knowing all He has chosen to know and not knowing what He has chosen not to know. Therefore you are supporting, inadvertently, the God of scripture. The silly claim if God removes His memory of our sins, that requires that He remove our memory of those same sins, is false. Recall Paul thought of himself as "chief among sinners" (1 Timothy 1:15)

The Father to the Son: Hey, Son, what's with those marks in your hands and feet?

The Son: Don't you remember?

Typical misrepresentation, the hallmark of false teaching.

The "no knowledge" refers to knowledge God has chosen not to know, not to the immeasurable knowledge He does not.

To remind readers, the actual topic is the meaning of the Greek noun translated"foreknowledge" (and the related Greek verb translated foreknow).

If you study all the places these two Greek words appear in scripture, the meaning is clear, knowledge acquired or formulated in the past is being unitized in the present. For example God's predetermined plan to deliver over Jesus Christ, was implemented according to the foreknowledge of God.

All the discussion about how foreknowledge indicates God has fixed the future by foreseeing it is nonsense.

The Son: These must be the marks I received for the sins of the people who aren't forgiven...the sins you remember and for which they're now suffering your wrath and indignation.

The Father: Oh...well...yeah...sorry about that. It seems you suffered for nothing.

God can choose not to know the sins He has forgiven. Thus God a God that must know everything imaginable, is not the God of the Bible.

To foreknow, means to know something about whatever is foreknown. God knew before creation, that His Redeemer would redeem believers whose faith God would credit as righteousness. There are the "whom He foreknew."
