This is a response to ChristianTruthHammer and his "simple grammar lesson for James White and his followers." In this response I respectfully suggest four grammatical-exegetical points that our critic should have thought of before he posted his video.
1) "Active" is a voice, not a tense;
2) The verb to know is not a "being" verb, although it is sometimes a "stative" verb;
3) Some verbs - like "know" - can be either dynamic or stative depending on the context; and
4) In this context, the verb "foreknow" is dynamic, just like the verbs "predestine," "call," "justify," and "glorify," each of which has the same subject and object as "foreknow."
