When speaking of God, why is the term “foreknowledge” even employed by the inspired biblical authors if a more applicable term like “predetermine” is available and better suited? If He determines all things that come to pass, then what purpose is there in speaking of His mere knowledge or permitting of anything? Why does such language even exist in Scripture if exhaustive determinism is true? There is no good reason to ever speak of God merely knowing or enabling anything in such a worldview, as such terminology would only serve to placate reality.
