V. Additional Considerations:<br />
1. God’s election is not based on the foreknowledge <strong>of</strong> man’s free<br />
choice.<br />
2. God’s election is not forced (in spite <strong>of</strong> man’s free choice)<br />
otherwise salvation is not based upon the human condition <strong>of</strong><br />
belief:<br />
A. It is not very loving to “force” someone to believe.<br />
B. Certainly God’s omniscience has the capacity to decree salvation that<br />
would not infringe upon free choice; He doesn’t have to resort to<br />
dragging people to salvation apart <strong>from</strong> their will.<br />
3. What God foreknew that “motivated” Him to elect us is never<br />
specifically nor clearly stated in Scripture. However, we can<br />
eliminate any idea that says God needed to learned something<br />
because that would mean that there is something potential about<br />
God; it denies omniscience.
