God knows in advance, but that doesn't articulate his involvement in filling the book.
ok so you are actually saying God has determined that some are saved and other are damned?

They are, like in the parable of the potter. Yet they have free will to choose to believe the word about Jesus or not, and as far as anyone other than God is concerned the choice is in their hands.ok so you are actually saying God has determined that some are saved and other are damned?
Quick to accuse.
What God Knows and Does is one thing.
What a man knows, when he knows, when he does is another thing.
All mens destiny IS already Established.
God IS ALL KNOWING.
God Already KNOWS which men will and which will NOT Choose Him.
Men do not KNOW, until they hear, decide, and freely choose.
Listen...he said ... "God KNOWS".
Why are you saying...."God determined" ?

It isn't difficult to understand with time in the picture. Because time is that which was co-created in the beginning of the creation of all things.It's not so difficult when you take time out of the picture.
That's not what God tells us in his word.Quick to accuse.

I agree but that’s not what they were saying
they said God saves some and condemned others
that’s Calvinism and unjust
contrary to 1 Tim 2:4
That would be Omniscience.the state of knowing everything. "the notion of divine omniscience" ·so by predestination you simply mean God knows in advance?
Yea God is all knowing
But they said God predestined or predecided
Sure it is.
Many want to go to paradise after they die. Few realize they should enter while still alive.Funny question. The only way to what or where?
Jesus is the only way to the Father. But how many people care about having fellowship with the living God while they are still alive in their mortal bodies? I would say most believers only want a ticket to heaven...thinking that ignoring the living God today is OK as long as you believe that Jesus is the only way.
The very obscurity of the question leads to an obscuring of the higher calling of God for right now...deferring that to a future afterlife based on a religious belief. Or so it seems.
