Yes, exactly. Paul was speaking almost exclusively to people that were brought up under Hellenistic thinking. If everything is predetermined, then why does God change his mind, get surprised and get so grieved so many times in the Bible and regret creating humans, far more times than the language Paul uses to the Greeks and Romans? Is he imprisoned by his own knowledge - or could it be an open future? God would need to be a "character" in his own play. He is active and alive not entrapped in his own foreknowledge. Big fan - I love science and theology. It's just not as cut and dry as to say the future is settled. Hezikiah changed the path of what God wanted when Isaiah prophesied over him and then his prayers were answered. You can't say it was predeteremided because Isaiah was on the road and told to go back and say the opposite of his original prophecy. It's not some tricky plot in a fiction book - Hezikiah changed the future through his relationship with God - so did Moses, Saul, Abraham, Isaiah, Jonah, Jeremiah etc. etc. Don't be intellectually lazy and say "it's a mystery" - it's not really. In the quantum realm we have an open future and the universe is scale invariant. you must take the entirety of the scripture as context.
@DaveShapi I sent it to a few people -- was a great overview of the changing infrastructure -- a few projects we're working on are bottle necked by git and it's nice to see things changing fast enough....more will come Scion is the first.
I am not defending these people in any way, shape, or form. I think it's an atrocious performance. It's basically $80,000 per student because they have three facilities in the metro area, equating to about 412 students, so this post is a bit misleading. Nonetheless, it's still a huge waste of money and a bunch of wackadoodles teaching a bunch of morons.
yeah I would. there is a clear hierarchy in the heavenly realm. But it's not of importance. We have gifted to us through grace the abundance of the kingdom - married to our Bridegroom - Jesus. We have been adopted into the kingdom of heaven into the trinity itself as children and have been given great things in Him. The angels look longingly into the salvation of man -- why because it's the most beautiful thing ever and through Grace we get it all if we accept it. That's the saddest part. For God so loved the world that ... he became vulnerable that we might reject him. True love isn't "predestined" true love is full freedom to choose. The angels look longingly at the wonder of our salvific story - no other creature in Gods entire creation receives it. See 1 Peter 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

We are made in the image of God angels are not. The Saints will judge the angels -- we are "lower" by mere dimensionality - last I checked I can't go from heaven to earth through dispatch or freedom.
2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 1 Corinthians 6:2-4
You actually don't need that. The VAERS report shows how many people are injured from vaccines and how most vaccines were entered in after a decline of whatever illness they were trying to solve, so they never changed the course of anything. How about just don't buy the propaganda
@charise_lee Yes - Laser Communication. Needs line of site so with thousands of them in orbit you can at the speed of light relay info around the globe. Still needs some work. That woman sounds dumb and gullible.
