Free will & absolute determinisim are NOT mutually exclusive, counterintuitive, yes but only because humans thinking is backwards from base reality.

a) That which is finite must have some infinity in which to exist & define its limitations within…..otherwise, finite limitations of what, of where et al ad fin....

b) The finite can never superceed the infinity in which it exist

c) Infinity must be known to itself at all points in space & time within itself and as such, it is deterministic in its construct. No randomness truly exist wrt itself.

d) The finite is by definition set (s) limitations. Randomness only exist due to lack of knowledge understanding of how things work.. "Free agency" is an exercise in limited knowledge, time, space & limited foreknowledge of outcomes or how-why thoes outcomes arrived. God does not suffer from such limitations. God is the infinite in which the finite exist.

"Ironically" both the calvinist & "free will" people R grossly wrong!!.... absolute determinisim & free will R NOT mutually exclusive logically & bible teaches both equally. Scripture teaches both because BOTH ARE LOGICAL IMPARITIVES AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCT OF SOTERIOLOGY ITSELF.

A concious eternal infinity ( God) is inheriantly deterministic because God knows all points within his own self. There is no unknown point-condition within Gods own substance but knowable only to God Himself. This is why & how scripture teaches free will & determinisim equaly as true.

Only God can experiance absolute determinisim anything finite would cease to exist it'll it were to see or experiance God directly because all that is finite exist by its defined limitations. The finite exeriances random & "free will" as 1) limited options provided 2) limited ability to exercise options or not with limited knowledge of outcomes.

Random & free will are the experiance of being finite.

Absolute determinisim & free will are NOT mutually exclusive nor is it possible for finite to exercise choice or will external of the infinite which is determinisim as the foilundation of all reality itself. Determinisim can only be experianced by the eternal infinite God. All creation is finite and depends on limitations both conceptualy & pragmaticaly for its very existance!

“FREE WILL IS THE “EXERCISE” IN FINITENESS WHERE AS DETERMINISIM IS THE STATE OF INFINITY, IN WHICH IT EXIST”

NOTE #2:

Jeremiah 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, 👉neither came it into my mind:👈

NOTE: This says the same thing in three different ways. To command would be to speak it likewise never came into Gods mind specificaly references a command to do such a thing which is not the same thing as knowing ahead of time they would do it. For God had alreafy prophesied that they would & gave a specific prohibition against it!

Leviticus 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

God created the devil knowing beforehand what he would do but that does not mean God wants anyone to follow the devil. The creation of the devil like the creation & placement of of the tree of knowledge of good & evil created the -a choice. The devil created for damnation also creates stimuli for choice.

It never entered Gods mind that he should command his people to offer their childeren in the fire. But this is not the same thing as always knowing the devil would incite all evil & even that particular evil.

It is easily understood that it never entered into God's mind to command his servants- people to blasphem His name but created the devil knowing they would. God creates the tree & devil and your own experiance such that all these options are created for devils & yourselfs. But it never entered into Gods mind to command you to side with satan or devils!

God interacts with humanity in a way that creates all options, process flow and time itself. Humans cannot see or experiance God directly without being destroyed because God is infinite determinisim where all things created existing are finite. To experiance or see infinity directly is to cease existing as finite.
