I’ve seen philosophers try to thread the predestination needle all manner of ways.
Extremes in Calvinism and in Arminianism both end up looking uncommonly like wishes of “Good Luck!” Either “finding yourself saved,” or “keeping yourself saved.” Both these are marked by making worldly deductions from the heavenly premises put forth by the bible.
Both these do not rhyme with the biblical tenor of the character of the Lord.
The Gordian knot “might” be cut by looking at the question of, “for whose sake would you want to be a heavenly person?” If it’s for your sake, then you haven’t gotten God’s love yet. If it’s for God’s sake, then you have. And make no mistake, the goal is to be heavenly. Even though it can’t be completely reached on earth.
This seems to be less about cutting a knot and more about finding something else to focus on.
