[Esaias]

The problem is the classical, Greek pagan view of God (Stoicism, Platonism, etc) creates fatalistic determinism. By viewing God as a static being "outside of time" who is omniscient, it follows that God knows with absolute certainty all future events as equally and as certainly as he knows all past events. God is never wrong. Therefore, all future events WILL turn out exactly as God has always known them to be.

Therefore, all future events are certain to occur, and have ALWAYS been so. And therefore, there is no choice whatsoever inn existence, except God's choice(s). And therefore, God has pre determined who will be saved, and who will be damned, individually, before time ever began. And therefore, those chosen to damnation CANNOT BUT BE DAMNED, and those chosen to salvation CANNOT BUT BE SAVED.

All of which is unbiblical, pagan, and makes God out to be a liar.
