Are you saying that God requires robot slaves to complete tasks for His satisfaction? Although by definition, that IS programmed robot slaves.

Not at all. The outcome was known but the people did their jobs the way God knew they would.

God wills all men to be saved. Not all men are saved. How do you explain this?

It isn't explainable in terms of human reason or intellect, Scripture shows no conflict even though to humans it is a conflict. It is something that will have to wait for the clarity of heaven. I'm good with that.

Can you explain what you mean by these terms?

Post 631 has links read them for the refs.

There is a difference between foreknowledge and predestination. I'm not sure that I can tell the difference between them in your posts.

Then one cannot say that men are predestined to hell with any surety.

Scripture shows no conflict even though to humans it is a conflict. It is something that will have to wait for the clarity of heaven. I'm good with that.

Then any doctrines that you have that are built upon a particular interpretation or understanding will also have to wait. Is the Lord that patient?

Since your post is number 220, I'm at a loss as to how to navigate to post 631, unless you are planning to populate the future post 631 with the promised links.
