[Luke]

I thought that was a given...

It's the Calvinists that limit God. Essentially, God's foreknowledge is based on his eternal decree, so God knows everything that will happen because He said it would happen. Not very omniscient to me.

I think God knows everything that will happen and could happen and would happen and so on..

No one can limit God. Look at the verse I quoted to JerryW. Jesus uses the words "if I be lifted up from the earth" which shews that the choice to do so was still not made. It shews that Christ had to do one final act of sumitting to the will of the Father. Aren't we glad that Christ chose:

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. (Luke 22:42 KJV)

For Jesus' sake,
Stephen
