How may we pronounce the foreknowledge of God without then retreating back onto our private stage for feeling/believing as if we made an independent decision? And when a man comes to such a point as to ask a woman to marry him, will it then be truly her decision? Those who say "I do" may, upon reflection, awaken for how their own free will had been made somewhat inaccessible to them for a time. If my wife in time knows what I may do, this is of her intuition. If my Creator knows my next step, this goes beyond the intuitive; design and purpose bear heavily upon function & behavior, unless there is here the suggestion that God somehow got "over His head" with the Adam project?
