Foreknowledge is Gods plan being planned out. So the statement makes perfect sense. Gods foreknowledge is His plan not looking into time to know something. That is heresy saying God has to learn something.
“but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you”

@rootcausesleuth “Of course God willed to deliver up his son.” That is Calvinist point. God willed it, planned it and predestined it to happen. You are proving their point. Also, that is just what the Bible says. You cannot like that but try and twist it.
You left the Bible with the police sting. The text says God planned and predetermined that Jesus was to be murdered by the hands of those men. That is what the text says. Do you deny that? Nope. God planned it to happen by those men. He willed the killing of Jesus and it happened because God planned it. Your little police sting nonsense is a bad example. Bible is clear.

You probably haven't heard about this because it doesn't fit the narrative.

Old Testament
Leviticus 18:22 states: “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Leviticus 20:13 repeats the prohibition and attaches the death penalty under the Mosaic law: “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death.”
These verses sit in the holiness code among other sexual boundaries (incest, adultery, bestiality). The wording is about the act itself—“lying with a male as with a woman”—not about temple prostitution, age difference, or violence. Parallel ancient Near Eastern laws sometimes regulated or condemned certain same-sex acts for different reasons; the Levitical text simply forbids the act for Israelites. Genesis 19 (Sodom) describes an attempted gang rape of male visitors; later biblical references (Jude 7) link Sodom to sexual immorality and “going after strange flesh,” though the city’s sins are also broader (Ezekiel 16:49–50).
Genesis 1–2 presents the creation pattern as male and female, with marriage defined as a man leaving his parents and clinging to his wife (Genesis 2:24). That pattern is the positive counterpart to the later prohibitions.
New Testament
Romans 1:26–27 is the most direct statement. Paul writes that women “exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature,” and likewise “the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men.” The argument is part of a larger claim that humanity suppresses knowledge of the Creator and turns to idolatry; the sexual exchange is presented as one visible result, described as contrary to nature (para physin), not merely as pagan cult practice. The surrounding context condemns a range of sins, not only same-sex acts.
1 Corinthians 6:9–10 and 1 Timothy 1:9–10 include terms commonly rendered “men who practice homosexuality” (Greek arsenokoitai, and in 1 Corinthians also malakoi). Arsenokoitai is a compound drawing on the Greek translation of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 (arsēn + koitē, “male” + “bed/lying”). It appears in vice lists of people who, if unrepentant, “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Early Christian writers understood these terms as referring to male same-sex intercourse in general.
Jesus does not use those specific words in the Gospels. He does, however, affirm the Genesis creation pattern when asked about divorce: “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife…’?” (Matthew 19:4–6). He also condemns porneia (sexual immorality) as defiling (Mark 7:21), a category that, in first-century Jewish usage, included the sexual prohibitions of the Torah. He nowhere relaxes those prohibitions.
