If this is so, then God has middle knowledge. Middle knowledge is a libertarian free will concept. Unless he means that God could not have actually chosen the alternative option. Then we have that God had no other choice but to give us no other choice, ie God would be just as predetermined as...

It's a conclusion that reconciles scriptures, like the Trinity.

Because although God does not want sin, God prefers libertarian free will more than preventing sin.

Some Arminians believe that. Here is a scripture. ... Romans 1:19-20 (KJV) 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are...

Natural revelation, by partially unblocking the affects of Adams sin, enlightens us to make us aware that we are sinners without excuse and libertarianly able to seek God. But not enough for gospel salvation.

Natural revelation is a form of prevenient grace.

That is true because of God knows what it will be. But not because it already happened to God.

Although it is true God isn't confined to our 3 dimensions, I would say God created only the progressive present, not the future. History has not already happened for God. Thus there is no future to see since He didn't create it ie the future is open. But nonetheless God has exhaustive...

That means in natural revelation which involves prevenient grace there is no gospel so at best we can only seek God, for which God may send a missionary or something to preach the gospel.

I would say the Father spoke but by default all three spoke, comparable to a man speaking in agreement with his conscience and subconscious.

Prevenient grace unblocks our libertarian access to God caused by the fall, partially in natural and specific revelation and thoroughly in the gospel.

It's prevenient grace.

God makes His own choices, libertarian ones. But even for a supposed outside deism, you would have to come up how those things made a decision. But the deism is your philosophic deism that gives God His only choice. He purposes those who are wicked for the day of trouble. It doesn't...

No I don't see how libertarianism means there is a force/deism outside of God making His decisions for Him. God is His own Deism. I don't understand how a predeterminate God has any other choice but to give us no other choice. Free? There exhaustively isn't anything else He could have...

Yes.

Then you are humanistic?

Like viewing exhaustive predeterminism as meaning God has no other choice but to give us no other choice?

I say Yes and No. The Old Testament images were more of a preferred angelic form that God often took, sometimes solidifying to that of a man.

Ok. You don't believe God is libertarian. Then you believe scripture presents God as predetermined. Then you believe God has no other choice than to give us no other choice. You should at least see God as libertarian.

A dog is not a cat. God is libertarian though, thus He is not enslaved.
