the Creator, unfathomable, controls all, governs all

Man's thoughts are many, and all subject to this existence which was made, fashioned for him. Each man and woman (golems) are called to service to the One Who hath made all, one as a vessel of mercy prepared afore unto glory, and as a vessel of wrath, fitted to destruction.
Men have no say in that vocation to which they are called.
One knowledgeable in the mysterious purposes of the Word of God, may desire to share with others the purposes and power of the calling of God, but it is not truly possible.
Consider this, saint..
Who can describe to and/or for the saint, the workings which will be solely unique to his or her existence?
Though we are made to feel that we are to be comparable to another, and often strive, albeit foolishly, to be as others, there will never be another you, and there is none who can take your place. You are, as David wrote, fearfully and wonderfully made. You are wondrously fashioned, so that no one who has ever existed, or shall ever exist, will ever be as you. From your DNA to your facial and anatomical data, such as your finger prints and retinal vein structure, there will never be another "YOU", and no one can describe for you, that to which you are called, though he she may desire.
This, individual uniqueness, is what Isaiah is referring to, when he wrote, "I am YHWH, that is my name, and my glory will I not share with another!" (Isaiah 42:8)
You can go out and lay in the grass, and look at each blade, but you will never find two that are the same. The same thing goes for the tree leaves, limbs, or the clouds. You will never see two that are alike of anything. From the grains of sand that covers this earth, to the myriads of men and animals, there has never been two which are alike, and there never shall be.
No, no man is capable of describing the path designed for another, that end to which they were fashioned, though he may desire.
No man may change or alter his destiny.
He that was created to serve as a vessel of wrath, his thoughts and behavior, lead him as a slave, ever drawing him/her to that ultimate purpose, the everlasting destruction reserved for the Devil and his followers:
"I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." Jude 1:5-6
He that was created to serve as a vessel of mercy, his thoughts and behavior, lead him as a slave, ever drawing him/her to that ultimate purpose, for which they were and are created, which is the everlasting habitation reserved for the saints, those chosen to be heirs of eternal life:
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:" Matthew 25:31-34
To know God, is to not think to know Him, and more importantly, it is not to set boundaries upon Him, or limitations upon that which He can and will do.
Though you may desire to shape your life, in some minute way, the path was all determined for you, and the minute details which will ultimately lead you to that destiny, started in motion before the world was fashioned.

Nicely put.
But why do you refer to men and women as "golems" ? I don't know what other people think about this, but for me, that term is totally out of this world creepy. LOL

"Golems"..?
This, the fact that men are created to be vessels, is what Paul is referring to, when he writes of the "vessel of mercy" and the "vessel of wrath".
You cannot escape the fact, that you were "created", and that is what the term means. It is found only once in the scripture, in Psalms 139:16:
"Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began."
The term "when I was formless" is "glm" in the Hebrew, which is where the word "golem" originated.
"Does not the potter have power over the (unformed) clay, to make one to be a vessel of mercy and one a vessel of wrath"..? Romans 9
One man is created to be a golem for noble use and one for ignoble use. One man is to be used and be destroyed and one man is to be used and saved.
Truth is taught in wisdom, and wisdom is "comprehending by contrasting mechanisms".
This is what wisdom is. It is comprehending by contrasting mechanisms. You simply cannot comprehend "1" by itself. Try, and you will never progress. Take a baby, tell it "1" and then walk away, and never teach it "two", and that baby will be void of any intelligence. He will stop growing mentally. You have to give him, "two", and then he will be able to comprehend "1". This is why God placed the corporeal knowledge in the creation. You would not be able to comprehend the proportional knowledge of "up" if it were not for the contrasting proportional knowledge known as "down", and you would not be able to comprehend the proportional knowledge known as "north" if it were not for the proportional knowledge known as "south". The same goes for east-west, hot-cold, above-below, before-behind, inhale-exhale, love-hate, war-peace, good-evil, darkness-light, righteous-unrighteous, and so on..
This is why God made Sahtahn (satan). It is written, "in the beginning God". God was all alone, and knew that man was going to need for Him to have a contrasting mechanism, and so He created Heaven and an adversary.
This is why you have "Protagonist" and "Antagonist".
You needed the "second" aspect, or mechanism, to comprehend, and this is what wisdom is.
Men are golems, creatures, and they are to be used by the Creator for one of two purposes. To be saved or to be destroyed.
This goes back to Cain and Abel and the Two Trees in the Garden. The Tree of Life, regards those men who are genealogically connected to God, and are to be His offspring. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, regards those men who are genealogically connected to the Devil, the contrasting mechanism of God. You would not comprehend, what it is to be "a chosen one", if it were not for those men who are rejected. These men are the Devil's Seed.
This is what Messiah was talking about, when He told the Jews, "you are of your father the Devil!"
There are to fathers, one is God and one is the Devil.
Cain was the Devil's Seed, which is why he slew his brother, Abel, who was of God's seed.
This is why I referred to "golems", for that is what men are.

Ezekiel 18
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Jeremiah 18
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
I do agree that everything has been predetermined/foreseen. The prophecy in the bible could not be reliable otherwise. However, I cannot see the timeline of my life. God is not pulling the strings in my brain. I am a free moral agent acting out a script that I've never read. If God has predetermined my choices apart for anything that I can do, then God is responsible for sin and cannot punish sinners and still be a God of justice. If God has made my choices for me, then he is a unjust god of tyranny and hypocrisy. Thankfully, He's not that like that. He is a holy, merciful, and just God of love.

Shalom Jude,
I will answer this with a new post, on "Did Eve have intercourse with the Serpent and Adam?"
It will explain this ancient doctrine, of Eve having intercourse with the Serpent and Adam, and why the Two Seeds doctrine is the basis of all scripture.

These "stories", which were created to generate capital, are not in the sanctified scripture, because they were not written by the sanctified.
Lilith is a Jewish fiction, just as is Judaism the religion. Lilith does not appear in Jewish mysticism until the 8th to 9th century, which proves that it is a fiction.
