Predetermination?

1 Peter 1:1-2
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

I just wanted to highlight this particular part of this verse. The writer of 1 Peter seemed fairly certain according to this verse that his salvation was already known ahead of time by God the Father. Now I understand that knowledge of something doesn't mean you caused it, as we've discussed in the comments section before, but it damn well makes you responsible for it.

If you created a universe knowing everything that would unfold in it, you are responsible for every single thing, including all of the horrific and detestable things.
