No, I don't see how God's foreknowledge could err.
Who asked you anything about a god? So, these predictions are always accurate, at what point might you be able to "choose" B - instead of the expected A? I asked why, how, not what you believed. You said that foreknowledge did not seem to you to rule out free will, I'm just looking for an example of foreknowledge that is in error. Some prediction that we could choose to nullify - and then you tell me that there aren't any?
Put me back on the list (it'll save you the trouble of responding to me).

Could I? You haven't explained how I could do so (except, perhaps, by means of explaining that you are not precognitive).

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
