Here the scripture depicts God as creating creatures and having “over-arching” plans for his creatures. But he designs each creature with the ability to think for itself – and participate in deliberations over the details of how his “over-arching” plan will be carried out.
Contrast that to the Calvinist world-view in which God before creatures are created – AUTHORS every neurological impulse that will appear in the brains of each creature.
And in light of that as the presupposition, the whole business of the counsel of God and the conversations that occur during this counsel – is reduced to a THEATER where Calvin’s god has scripted everything, and creatures become nothing more than functional puppet/robots.

I found this fascinating!
