Define 'new'? (I think the culprit over difference here) "In and for" Him. Think about that. What is a car if not 'for Him'? What do we mean and why is 'new' used in discussion between Openists and the rest of us? If there really is 'nothing new under the sun' (and I believe the...

"Panentheism" Its Biblical so of course extreme. SHOULD be convincing. To quote one of TOL Open Theist favorite lines: Saying it doesn't make it so: No. It. Is. Not. Biblical means 'founded on a Biblical given.' Read, be informed, and tell me what you disagree with...

Or any bridge for that matter? Legos, simplistically, all pre-exist for anything anything anything you'd create with them. It is about exponentials here. God created building blocks (Legos) called atoms. Okay, you have me entertained for a moment. Name any one thing you'd 'create' with...

Yet what does scripture say? Jeremiah 32:17 1) Nothing new under the sun (scripture) and 2) Colossians 1:16 3) 1 Corinthians 4:7 - Point/counter-point to all of discussion between Openists and the rest of theology: Does God meet us where we are, with us staying where we are...

A privation is the 'lack' thereof. It is not an invention, but a warping of what already exists. Sin then, in all nuances, is the lack of Godliness, not an entity that exists alongside God for all eternity. Am I following your logic: It seems you are saying if God makes knives (as an...

:nono: Not what it says. If you are the SOURCE of everything, can ANYTHING come outside of your being? Hint: It is why sin is called a privation. It is a messing up of what ALREADY exists. It is the insurance of. Why is the ONLY reason you are against this set as a defense of Open...

An apprehension, something you understand AND formulate in the mind. There is no such thing as a 'two' but as a mental apprehension. There is no such thing as a 'time' but as held in your mind. "Time" is a metaphysical property and relates to 'things we can measure.' "Idea" is a created...

I think it can. There is a difference (and confusion) between 'absolute' vs arbitrary and "morals," at least in this thread: it provided for tertiary discussion.

An egg is only fertilized by one among vast contenders. It absolutely makes sense. Choice is the act of eliminating 'choice.' We have a proclivity toward one avenue ever. We are talking about the rule of elimination of all but one. Think of "Coin" vs "Heads or Tails." It depends...

Er, no. Not everything created is physical. An inch isn't physical, but it is 1) created and 2) existent as a represent-able concept. "Time is not material..." It doesn't matter. "Time" is a 'created' or crafted concept. It is a conveyance of observation and is only of use with things...

It could be more than just concept because we can use things to measure, in this case watches. It is basically observation and measurement of movement/change. As such, it is a property of constructs. The reason most of us believe observation and measurement don't directly apply to God is...

In your (or his) defense, doesn't 'bum' mean 'homeless?' 🤔

Sounds like the same 🤔 And certainly had Christ slain from the foundation of the world...as I look above, there is an overlap so I'm not so caught up on this as a difficulty, but such has God not knowing what any particular combination of things does. In a nutshell, here is my problem...

He is actually very good humored about stuff like this. Josh Blue is too.

Pelosi "I want to punch him (Trump) out!" Biden "Trump supporters are enemies of the People" “...we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” Kathy Griffin resurrected her bloody head of Trump meme...

Was thinking of a meme with Kirk and Kahn faces changed:

Hmmm, looked like "Fight! Fight! Fight!" over and over again to me....

1 John 3:2 "We will be like Him..." Revelation 21:4 "...no more..." 1 Corinthians 6:3

Good link that defines Dispensationalism and explains what is meant. 🆙

After Judgement. https://www.compellingtruth.org/seven-dispensations.html It would seem that the 7th Dispensation of Kingdom Reign would have to be set upon the 6th-Dispensation of Grace. I cannot fathom a millenial reign without Jews everywhere coming to Christ as Lord and Savior Acts...
