Elsewhere you have mentioned "foreknew" used in Acts with the
suggestion that you have proven my theorem wrong as to not indicating
"fore-knowing" as in prescience, but than foreknowing as in
relationship. I looked it up and it is Peter who is speaking in Acts
2:23. This, however, isn't the only time Peter mentions it
_in_the_same_context. Check out 1 Pet 1:20. I'm sorry, but you have
yet to prove me wrong.

Also, though I know what I am about to say is never going to sink in,
if you are going to post an objection, why not put forth a little
effort and develope your point. You readily enough chasten those who
just through out bare verses, and yet you do it often enough, with the
presumption that your interpretation is the same as fact.

Oh we could get into a long discussion as to where the father's
presuppositions were based in their development of their argumentation,
but not today.

I feel that you make the same error that the non-Christian does. You
confuse the Greek notion of determinism or "system" with the biblical
Christian idea of God's control of all things. You identify more with
the non-Christian idea of indeterminism, namely, that of free will or
human autonomy than the biblical view of man being created responsible.
The basic reason for your failure in both these identifications is
simply your refusal of the absolute authority of the Bible. You refuse
to accept the biblical doctrine that God is in control of every thing
-the biblical principle of continuity- which in itself requires the
Christian principle of indeterminism. These are correlative of
another. Simply put, it is a mystery and CANNOT be penetrated by the
puny mind of man. The relationship between an all controlling,
sovereign God as expressed via the authority He has given to His
written word, and the responsibility of man is NOT contradictory since
it is in God that it finds
