And what is God's Point ? He Says to you(pl) "Choose Today Who You Will Serve",, possibly every day ...My point is, it's not what God knows we do, it's what we do God knows. In what way is that circular? Our choices are not determined by God or His foreknowlege.
What God did for Job was to help him take the next step in his spiritual growth.Philip and all the permanent disciples were already light years ahead of people you know today.
He/ they/ simply obeyed the Father.
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
God could have sent the Holy Spirit directly to eunuch and left Philip out of it, so why did God send Philip?
Do you think it help Philip to grow spiritually to have this experience of teaching the eunuch?

They walked in union with Jesus and with the Father DAILY. They obeyed the FATHER DAILY, they honored TORAH all the time. They DID the Father's Word all the time.I think there are Christians like them today. I don't see the apostles as perfect Christians. They were good servants of Christ, but still human.

What you are going to do determining what God knows you will do equals free will. God knowing because he determined what you will do equals predestination.
about gentiles ?The Holy Spirit did go to Cornelius first, but God sent Peter to Cornelius anyway.
Peter inducted Cornelius into the Body of Christ. "Membership has its privileges."
Both cases were proving examples of the fulfillment of Isaiah 56. It doesn't appear that the Judaic believers thought God was serious about that.

See IN THE NT, what the Father Says about them, NOT what you have seen or heard from anyone else.
No. Not at all.I know that Paul was a very dedicated evangelist, but I don't see what he did would be impossible for us today, through God's grace and our willingness. One problem is that most Christians today are not willing. I think we all have to work on that, to be more apostle-like.
The letter killeth, but spirit maketh alive. The Father waits for us to return from our adventures in wasting away our inheritance...It is His will that we return....and we will. How long we take in riotous living is of no consequence to him...for He sits outside of time.Listen to the words of Jesus’ heart in Luke: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me.”
You wouldn’t let me? How can it get any clearer that God’s will was not for his people to reject him?
This is a good question: who would be the very best person to send to the hungering nonbeliever?I don't know. Why are God sending us to share the Gospel when He could have sent angels or just give faith to everyone at instant? God has chosen this way, maybe because His Kingdom is about His relationship with man? Or there may be a reason we just can't understand. What do you think?
Job is another lengthy subject, but similar.Show this with , in context, QUOTES of the TEXT from SCRIPTURE.

Why the switching from Philip, the topic, to Job, not the topic ? What is your connection there ?

Would it not be Jesus in the flesh, to Love on him, listen to him, spend time with him, mentor him, teach him and be loved by him? Will that be you? You are now the flesh of Christ living in you and throw you. You are doing what Christ is doing on earth in the flesh. Don’t you want to be part of that? Is it not exciting to share in God’s glory, by just being there? An angel cannot do what Christ did while he was human, but you can (real Christ can do it through you). Can an angle say to the prospect: “I have been there and done that”? Would a prospect speak with and angel like he would speak to you or Christ in the flesh, since we know how people addressed Christ.
The Father sends who He Chooses to send. He utterly, completely , always does what is best in His Absolutely Perfect Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding which are all in His Essence, not as if separate parts in Him.Who would be the very best person to send to the hungering nonbeliever?
Where is this written in God's Word? Where did God say this ?What God did for Job was to help him take the next step in his spiritual growth.
