I'm trying to show the foreknowledge question from another angle. If it is asked whether or not Judas could have not betrayed Jesus after Jesus said he would, then it would be possible that Jesus would have been wrong. Some people see this, understand the issue and immediately deny God's predestination in this even when the issue wasn't predestination. They see their problem so I tried to re-frame the question. Since there is nothing at any time that God doesn't know we are going to do from God's perspective we aren't "free". This puts all of our future actions from God's perspective as fixed. This ends up showing that we cannot do something contrary to what God knows we will do. Amen to your last sentence.

Matter of fact, that is typically as far as they go with God's Sovereignty-that He knows what we will do with what they consider our free will. Foreknowledge at the very least includes a perfect knowledge of everything future. I understand God to be much more able than simply being the best seer ever, but I think every born one would at least grant Him that. By the way- ain't our God wonderful!
