Certainly He does as God the Son per MT 24:36).
Think he must be able to as well, or it would be impossible for one so righteous/perfect to tolerate such evil. Maybe he chooses not to *know* certain things until it's necessary?
I can see Him choosing not to remember certain things, like our sins. So why not the same with foreknowledge? Why would He do such a thing is a different matter.
yes, definitely, knowing each and ever persons motive, that is why some get it and are getting it and others not yet, yet will and each will decide willingly, and then when judgment day is here, all will be revealed, and either be in or not, as Son will say to some, go away, I never knew you, you who work iniquity. Please, I do not want that, anyone else? Thank you Father will reveal it in. truth to you.
Deliver that man to satan, and let him go though troubles and come to the end of himself
then 2 Cor 7, where Paul repents and then does not, expressed his worry over the Corinthians and now see what he did was good he was listening and had sone doubt, yet they came to see to not use this Gospel for self gain that harms others as were doing. Not anymore
Love, God's Love won by Son and through Son, who showed us all how to walk by Faith to Father only. He did nothing without Father's approval. So I see we are each to learn that truth too, you think?

Do you have the ability this very instant to forget me asking this question?
If not, then it is the same as God because to God, the present is as if the past and future are as one.
Foreknowledge of what? but to answer your question I would say yes The Bible verse "I will remember their sins no more" appears in Jeremiah 31:34 and Hebrews 8:12. It's part of a promise made in the new covenant, which was fulfilled in Jesus Christ
so he has the ability to forget things as if they never happened therefore he clearly can limit his knowledge of things.

I think the question that needs to be asked first is ... "is foreknowledge the same as omniscience or is it only a part of God's omniscience?"
Iow is foreknowledge purely data input or is it relational?
Thinking of Christ's statement in Matthew ...
Matthew 7:23
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

I think it is important considering our destiny, calling, justification and glorification is dependent upon God's foreknowledge.
Rom.8:29-30
29 because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.
by definition yes it is the same thing but he also doesn't work like we do. we get lets say data or information our brains recieve this because we didn't know it before the data is new to us. with God however the data and information was already there it isn't new to him he had this information already. but just like how you can delete certain data he also can delete information in order to make room for our willingness to change.
Then this new data is the replacement for the data deleted this isn't new data for him it is just different data
Where are you looking?
Jesus said He didn't know some people in Matt.7:23. Does that mean He had no information on those people?
I just google it and all the definitions say the same thing. but no it is not like that he says he never knew them as a way of saying depart from me because they never knew him and so he saying he never knew them not because he is lacking information but because they were not his own and never knew him so therefore he never knew them it is an insult of sorts
"Does God have the ability to limit His foreknowledge?" Your asking something that is not written. Rev "no one whose names were written in the Lamb's book before the foundation of the world will worship the beast"
When Christ was on the earth He was fully man full of the sweet sweet holy spirit with out measure. What He could not answer nor any angel only the Father could. the bible says there is nothing God does not know.
I know what its about yet '"For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed" ""God is greater than our conscience, and he knows all things"
God is out side of time. I am "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One].”
Were talking about this stuck in this time bubble so to speak as if this is the real realm. Back to the start.. your asking something that is not written. This is the classic "so God could make a rock so big even He could not move it" haha. Like He said to that preacher that ask GOD to say something because this male "witch" showed that preacher all the evil things all the power he had and said "what can your God do?". The preacher man just sat there.. I think the 3rd time said PLEASE GOD say something give me something and GOD did He said "don't put me to some stupid test"
One word here for me were the red flag "limit". The only "limit" God has is the one we believers put on Him.
"Yeshua you are a friend of sinners." just a song playing.. He breaks off all my chains

Isa 5:2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
"He dug it all around, removed its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine. And He built a tower in the middle of it and also hewed out a wine vat in it; Then He expected it to produce good grapes, but it produced only worthless ones" (Isa. 5:2).
Here God clearly expected something but another lesser thing occurred proving in this particular situation that he did not know what would occur.
God can choose to know the future or choose not to as in the above example.
