St Luke also thought so when he specifically wrote that God - in his unitarian nature (& not 'the Father') selected the man Jesus. He has fixed a day of accountability, when the whole world will be justly evaluated by a new, higher standard: not by a statue, but by a living man. God selected...

Jesus. God. Not the same being.

Just ignore 2 Kings 22:19-20.

Interpretation? 2 Kings 22:19-20 explicitly states the EXACT OPPOSITE of God teaching them goodness and judgment; he solicits options from the council and acts on the answer one gave to him about what to do - to achieve his end, God's Will.

That is the VERY OPPOSITE of the quote from the Book of Kings in the OP.

Wrong. Just another invention of a corrupt cult.

Need is where you are mistaken! God needs nothing. Other verses clearly show God chooses to answer prayers. That is, take the council of others. Again, not out of need but preference. He shows his love for us in this and other ways. It really is simple and analogous to how any parent feels...

So, in your view, the gathering of Israel in a day only coincides with Scripture.

The idea that a 3 year old makes any vow at all, let alone a life time of chastity is absurd on its face. The idea that such a person, as an adult, gets married expecting to keep the vow is a farce. People are supposed to get married to have sex, not get married and not have sex.

Democrats don't seem to talk about unity when Republicans are in office. Then, it is fist in the air, "resist!"

Luke 1:43 has NOTHING to do with the point. Where do you get the idea that a 3-year old Mary made a vow to never had sex?

You are confusing the matter over the word Council/Counselor. Isaiah 40 & Romans 11 simply make the point that no one taught God. This is not the same thing at all as God asks for and acts on input from others. I've provided numerous Scriptural references. Ignore them if you want. But that begs...

Married women make the exact opposite vow. What are you talking about, vow of perpetual virginity for married women?

Yea, let's change the subject to the text of Scripture and the question of the OP.

Yet, God presides overly the Heavenly Council.

Moses asked God not to destroy the nation of Israel and God listened to Moses. The strangeness of your post is to deny prayer means to ask for something. Why pray if he is not listening, not in the business of answering prayers? It's strange not to consider this, not to ask these questions.

Not an answer to my request to explain it. Given that God presides over the Council (Great Assembly, if you prefer), how do you conclude he does not consult them? In addition, the Bible is filled with stories of God taking council from others, like how many righteous people need to be in a city...

More importantly, why pray then?

The media certainly wants to paint that image. Fact is, Trump broke the record for most votes for an incumbent president. Disaster. Stunning Success. Not Equal.

What then is the meaning of Psalm 82:1?
