To say that God lacks knowledge, is to limit His ability to save souls.
How?
If you believe God IS able to save all, what stops Him?
His choice to give us a will of our own. He could save everyone regardless of their desire but that is not how He made the world, nor would it be consistent with justice.
Yes, we disagree with the cause of unbelief, but in a nutshell, yes.
Then you are saying what I say. God is unable to save unbelieving men.
Coming from quite different directions, but yes, same answer.
I wouldn't go as far as to say "completely",
but same bottom line answer.
I am wondering if you, or Dave, or Clete can answer how OT'ers come to the conclusion some things are not determined.
THe Bible is filled with examples, it would be harder to find a page that
doesn't suggest things are not all determined. Every time God judges men, every time He or His prophets tell men to do right or follow a law it suggests God didn't just program/determine us to do whatever we do.
Can you actually name and identify what God does NOT determine?
See every example I described above. (maybe not that simply but generally every situation that fits God judging us or exhorting us)
What part of creation is God unaware of? What part of creation was not designed and made by His hand? (Psalm 139; Ephesians 2:10)
I wouldn't argue that God is unaware of any aspect of creation, unless He chooses to be. The old example of reflections from a chrome bumper comes to mind. Infinite data is being created infinitely as a car drives down the street, not to mention the movement of the things being reflected. Can God be aware of every bit of it? Yes. Would He care/choose to? I don't believe so.
What is your definition and explanation of predestination as taught in the creation as well as in the Holy Scriptures?
My definition would mostly likely be the same as yours, explanation would vary per topic, but the biggie you are most likely after is that the Body of Christ was predestined corporately.
(I'm going to try to not be so punchy, I was in a mood when I posted before, you ignored my jabs in your response and I commend you for it)
added in edit, I apologize for jumping you in my previous post, was inappropriate.
