The matter of miracles and how the NT portrays them is not much of an open debate anymore, but your take isn’t considered a valid one by anyone I know. It is, however, your free will choice to take it any way you like.

There are different groups that call themselves Reformed, but your take is pretty much on target. Nothing happens outside the will of God. That does not preclude you from having a will, though, and a choice IF the Creator made you with one. They say that He did, and that your destiny is set, nonetheless.

Some find that a great comfort and others find it something to be fought against. In any case, His sheep hear His voice and follow Him.

What is the proof that all of this is true?

That we live in a universe in which self-identity had an origin and that universe is heading to a conclusion.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Precisely so!
