You say. You give no real evidence for your view.These are different words.
"Know" means to have a knowledge or acquaintance. Hebrews also used the word as an idiom for intercourse.
The tense "knew" in that Jesus never knew them refers to association. Those people were mot trult asdociated with Jesus.
Jesus knowing what men were thinking refers to a cognitive knowledge.
Foreknowledge always refers to prescience. It does not work that those God has a pre-association with He predestined.
Even if we create a new definition based on the Jewish idiom for sexual relations it does not work. The reason is that while God is eternal we are not.
Foreknow means what it has always meant - knowing beforehand.
I mentioned the people at Sinai who were not in bodies but who took the vow. What do you make of that? I'll repeat it so you don't need to go searching.
Deuteronomy 29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day:
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
How could people not born yet take the vow at Sinai?
