But what you have to consider is: What is going to make MAtt decide if he is going to smoke? his experiences, his frame of mind, how he thinks, his environment, all things controlled and put in place by God. God's foreknowledge is very different becuase he creates us. So in essence he creates how my mind works and how strong/weak my mind is. By him creating us and him knowing what will happen when he creates us, he knows that if he creates me "x" way, I will do "y". So if he doesn't want me to do "y" he should actually create me like "z"
I think it's pretty clear how God's foreknowledge is different. Your foreknowledge doesnt change anything because you have no real control on how he thinks and how he will react, but God does. When God created Matt he determined everything about Matt.
I feel like i'm pretty much repeating myself. Try to read everything carefully and think about it carefully. I think you should see why there is a BIG difference between your foreknowledge and God's.
