The truth does set us free. So, would you please refer to my previous post and offer your opinion of this proof of intercessionary requests changing God's mind?

So you believe Mary "changed God's mind?"
What? Did God make the wrong decision the first time and then He was like, "You know what Mom, you're right. I didn't realize they were out of wine. But, hey, now that you told me, well, I guess I'd better do what you say."
CP, do you think it was just coincidence that God was at the perfect place, at the perfect time, so that He could show His power?
God bless

He said it wasn't His time. Either He was being truthful, or not, right?
If He was being turthful, which we all agree, then it wasn't His time, and He allowed Mary to change His mind.

That's what I'm asking you. Do you believe that Mary changed God's mind?

Absolutely. There isn't anything in God's Word that is just there for no reason. That conversation was VERY important and telling. He says, ""Woman, what does this concern me? It is not my time." But then He did it anyway. Right after, she says, "Do whatever He tells you"
There are other examples of righteous people changing God's mind, as well, mostly from the OT.
What did He do, make the wrong decision on purpose?

No He didn't make the wrong decisions, heh, He allowed His creations to interact with Him, out of love.

Come on man. That sounds like your sidestepping. You say God knows all yet His creation can change His mind. Either He purposely makes the wrong decisions so they can "interact with Him, out of love" or He realizes it's the wrong decision after He's made it, which would go against the whole "perfect, righteous, omniscient" thing that God has. Which is it? Or is there another option?
Thanks,
God bless

or did He not tell the truth when He said it wasn't His time?
So, you have my opinion, what is yours?
I believe God orchestrated the events that happened exactly as they needed to be to fulfill His Plan to glorify Himself.

So do I. Here is the kicker. God is so powerful that He can incorporate Mary's request into His plan, before she even made it.
With all due respect, I believe you are stuck thinking in linear time, whereas with God, time is not linear.
