So the past exists, we just don't have access to it?

Without bounds, not a part of something. I will be generous give you fifty words 😁 So Does the past still exist to God?

Long post. One thing at a time. The gospel was preached since Genesis.. Men were being saved by faith all along the way. And being given life from the dead spiritually. This alone counters your view on the passage.

Describe "this outside of time" idea. What do mean? Does the past still exist to God? It's all a big movie real sort of, and he sees it all at once?

Something that is indeterminant by definiiton doesn't have a truth value until its determined.

I am asking you seriously what you think you would say in that situation, given you new divine determinism were true.

I can't say for certain. But note these two things. 1. The dead will hear (which is future). 2. And all (every single one) that hear will live. Either way we look at it, it fits the Reformed view better. If my take is wrong, and it is a current spiritual reality being spoken of, then...

How Do you know it's really God and not a false Spirit?

So if your wife wa to icecream and asks whar are the options as you shop, what would be your answer? "Honey you have no options. Now Tell me the flavor God has decreed for you".....lol

The hour is now. We are living in the last times since his ministry. He clearly used only future language for when it would happen......"the dead will hear"

How do you know all this is true?

I am curious why you think the passages you use are accurate.

Ironic you use this verse, While trying to be like God of your own will and not God.

But you said what you would do if you did believe. I am asking for more specifics. Which flavors would you call not decreed?

Well which flavors would you call that? You need to be accurate.

Both are accurate. One is just silly for every day because we don't know the future.
