Wanted to get feedback on the following argument.
God is omniscient and always has been. There was never a time he came to be omniscient. That would entail that God changed which would imply a lack of perfection among other things. Now apply this to God's eternal plan and sovereignty. It must be the case that God Himself chose what and how all things would come to pass apart from foreseeing. Foreseeing implies learning- transitive verb: to see (as a development) beforehand. Therefore any foreseeing that went into God's eternal plan (including looking down the corridors of time to see who would believe) would mean that God learned or acquired knowledge He lacked prior to foreseeing. This would mean there was a time God was not omniscient and therefore changed. If God was at anytime not omniscient He would have ceased to be God.
