From God's POV, which is what we're talking about, Christ's death was "complete" before the Incarnation, so to speak

Actually, in this case, no. God's salvific work affects us in real time, through Divine Economy.

FK: "From God's POV, which is what we're talking about, Christ's death was "complete" before the Incarnation, so to speak. "

Is it correct then, that the Orthodox view is that there is no predestination of any kind? I think I remember that being the case, but just to be sure. ... And if true, then how does this square with God knowing in advance who will choose Him? I mean, if God knows, which I assume you believe, but there is no predestination, then is it like God just sits back, doesn't interfere in any way, and lets happen whatever happens?
