Definition of Foreknowledge |
|
God
is able see the future and make decisions based upon
this. An alternative view is that God, being all
knowing, is able to determine every decision a person
will make and thus He knows exactly what a person will
do and the choices he will make.
Foreknowledge as it
relates to election is an Arminian doctrine.
Rather than
unconditionally electing people for salvation, God
is able to determine what a person's choices will be and
elects from eternity past those He knows will chose to
follow Him.
See
election for a third view
that is neither Arminian or Calvinistic in doctrine.
