Both God and Jesus Christ had foreknowledge that one will betray His Son, for that was the plan to bring about salvation.
John 17:6 "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
In bold type, points to acknowledging God's foreknowledge.
John 17:6 "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
In bold type, points to no foreknowledge of Jesus Christ, but absolute
faith in His Father.
Jesus knows what is happening as His Father reveals, whatever the Father wills for His Son, to know and do at the right time.
John 7:8 You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come."
John 7:29 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
God reveals, whatever the Father wills for us, to know and do at the right time.
Luke 24:15-16 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;
16. but they were kept from recognizing him.
A woman was healed by her faith, when she touched Jesus Christ's clothes. This points to no foreknowledge of Jesus Christ, but
foreknowledge by the woman through her faith.
Mark 5:30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked,
"Who touched my clothes?"
God does not acknowledge/accept what is not by faith or by truth.
Luke 13:26-27 "Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' 27. "But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!'
Those with faith get healed by God, not by those who claim to be the healer (untruth).
Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' 23. Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Jesus Christ, the Faithful Son, is a definite foreknowledge, by God, because He is from God and is True.
We, who are not so faithful and true, so we are not definitely of foreknowledge because we have gaps in our Truth. How much truth depends of who much we surrender our self-will for God's-will.
Foreknowledge and the unconditional nature of Faith and Truth
My contention is that God knows which will have certain amount of truth,
but elects to not know which parts because of faith. Faith requires a person to become unconditional (not claiming for the self). Free-will, in the spiritual realm, is about choosing to be unconditional or not. To have true faith, is to become spiritual, in the realm of the invisible God. God sacrificed His only Son, as an act of unconditional love for all concerned, including His Son, so we too, through faith, can be unconditional. In this way foreknowledge becomes unconditional. Meaning, foreknowledge becomes only true, for us, when we are unconditional of self (faithful and true) at the time.
While Jesus Christ was on earth he was also part human though without sin. In other words, it was not until his death on the cross did he complete his task and became absolute Faith and Truth. While on earth he did not have the foreknowledge of the End time, but did so after earthly death.
Mark 13:32 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Revelations 22:12-13 "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
So my answer to Chopper's question...
1. My position is that Abba Father, hand picked the Elect Bride for His Son before even man was created with NO foreknowledge of who would believe in His Son.
2. Others have the position that Abba Father saw into the future with His power of foreknowledge and chose the Elect Bride for His Son.
...is both, because of the unconditional nature of Faith and Truth, and the foreknowledge that ALL unfaithful and untrue will vanish (not known) at the End.
