I thought the TSKS construction in Acts 2:23 refers to 2 ASPECTS of the same act ["definite plan" and "foreknowledge"]. I didn't EQUATE the two because they aren't personal nouns, as would be required in a G#. But they are in a TSKS construction, which I believe demonstrates some kind of relationship between the two words, and that they do BethsMomToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661542831522987087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514726127775216123.post-25480372134476414472007-04-19T10:30:00.000-07:002007-04-19T10:30:00.000-07:00Dan, that's a fair answer.

The whole issue is difficult to deal with from any theological frame of reference - I will probably come out less Calvinistic than you, but I am glad that you are seriously grappling with this issue on the exegetical level. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy this blog. It is a bit beyond my Greek abilities at present, but I love the challenge of reading your posts.

In v. 20 of this same chapter, Peter describes Jesus as "foreknown before the foundation of the world," using the verbal form of the same word. Clearly Peter means far more than that God was aware of Jesus.<BR/><BR/>In such contexts, the passive ideas of being aware of something, or (worse, but popular) God passivelyDJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514726127775216123.post-29308394566653701422007-04-18T14:52:00.000-07:002007-04-18T14:52:00.000-07:00Dan, I am not looking to start an elaborate discus...Dan, I am not looking to start an elaborate discussion on foreknowledge, I am just wondering how you can define foreknowledge as "God's active, distinguishing love set on persons?" I understand that the basis of election is more than God's simple knowledge of future events, but is it not possible that a more simple definition is being highlighted in this particular text?
