Glad I took the sabbatical. With mindless non-sequiturs like this, I'll keep on my sabbatical. You both lose by inane banter. Open Theism will always be a joke as long as stuff like this makes it one. You simply have to stand up like men when honest, serious questions, challenge your...

These apply specifically in the accusation that I don't quote scripture often. So far in thread I've been accused of not quoting scripture, not being honest, etc. I used to think I only had one accuser :( Is it possible that someone is so vested in their own theology that they'd call...

*cough cough* Note that it is a commentary by an Open Theist, not scriptures. Why? Because you will never find "God changed His mind." "Liar" not with any kind of standing. It is reckless to make the assertion. Granted Open Theism must have it true, but it is not. You'll never...

Very long, please allow me to edit quite a bit out but it is still very long. I recommend only addressing what peaks your interest. I'll continue to try and pare down as much as I can. Ignore anything of small import if you respond and ty. Except there were many churches, and while Paul...

First, I'm not sure I responded. Second, for Derf (just one of many) 2 Timothy 3:16 Isaiah 55:11. That said: Proverbs 4:7 (JR, you forgot to link your verses as you often ask me to do, was familiar with the set, so didn't need to look it up, but maybe others need it).

For what reason? It, in fact is true. Why must you have God unable to know the future? Let me say this again: You will never find a verse that says God changed His mind. Open Theists repeat this and repeat this and it doesn't exist anywhere in scripture. "For what reason?" Every...

Isn't a strawman, there is no other reason any Open Theist ever has given. It thus may be 'your' strawman, (it isn't, you have often argued about your free will in conversations as a concern), but it isn't an Open Theist free will strawman. Open Theism, is free will theism, even your own...

True, but I was asking why Open Theism cares 'when' God knows anything. I, of course know the answer: "Because I wanna be as free as I think I am and hate anything that seems to take that away." True? There is no other reason I know of to care, and I don't. Here is the thing: I...

Well, I love you guys, truly. We are at a standstill and that is okay. I see Open Theism consistently deny God knows where Adam is, even though He knows at that exact moment the number of hairs on his head. I see Open Theism deny Jesus knew Peter was going to deny Him three times exactly...

I realize this makes perfect sense to an Open Theist, but the problem is, if you follow the logic down the road, it never adds up. You have to be inconsistent in what you believe God knows and doesn't know with any given text, with the assumption that it is much less than what I get from the...

Not quite following this. Would appreciate a paragraph.

What? Do I have to cave to you? That is the demand? You haven't been as cogent in argument as you believe you have, so yes, good faith. Difference between me and a few TOL Open Theists for posterity: I don't care about my theology. I care about God. I do not emote and get hurt...

All is all. While I appreciate 'trying' to put stipulations on His knowledge, such to protect prior concepts that must be analyzed and stand up under scrutiny and the Open Paradigm goes way too far and actually denies "all things." You aren't even willing to entertain it, even with the...

Doubt doesn't matter. It is simply true that Peter said "you know all things." Why would it even come up if it weren't true? Why not just say: "You know my heart, you know I love you"? I'm not seeing it as false. What I'm seeing is Peter denying because he was willing to lie to save...
