Are humans a mistake?

I’d say that preaching is a means by which God effects conversions and maturation in faith, and that God often uses means through human actions, but exactly how that interrelates with election is a mystery to me. As is trying to sort out exactly how God’s sovereignty interacts with human actions.

Yes, there is some kind of dynamic with our changeless God that is beyond our ken.

I like the idea that all of God’s interactions with us are through a single act, which generates the cosmos, an idea which I term the Logos principle, based on Philo of Alexandria. In this way, God can still interact with us whilst not acting at a ‘particular’ point in time.
