I would not presume to judge God, Jesus or Moses. I would not presume to understand fully the “thoughts” of God. If pastors choose to, well, that is just a matter of belief. I disagree, but again, it would be arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. God is supernatural. Assuming the “rules” of nature or the “rules” of man apply, is inappropriate. God is/exists further than the edge where language meets the abyss.
Of course if you want to describe something beyond language...
Freewill discussions are more interesting.

Not to me - they make my head spin!
I knew you would say that!
