I do not recall saying God was bound by His own creation of time. However, I do realize God can know those who will be born, who will never accept His gift of Salvation, and therefore will mould them accordingly,...not because He has appointed it so, but because He guidelines that they would willingly go their own way into destruction. God is not willing that any man Perrish. The fact that He is Sovergn, He has given us a time of Grace so that man can choose Life or death, hear the Gospel, and turn from his wicked ways. There are men on here who believe that it is impossible for God to turn men's hearts from 'wanting' to sin, but He has given us instruction, through the unction of the Holy Spirit to allow God to give them the power not to sin,...a way Out through loving His Son. Jesus said, " If you love Me, you will obey Me." & this is possible when we believe on His Power. Continual, habitual, conscious sin, causes God to chastise His children, for the good of them.
