Hi SR, you may be correctly presenting the view of some Open Theists, but other views of Divine Omniscience also exist. Look up "Inherent Omniscience." That is the view I hold, God knows everything He has chosen to know, and does not know what He has chosen not to know. God can forgive our...

Our life can be seen as a series of events, some of which we think we understand the cause, but other events seem to arise from chance or causes beyond our ability to grasp. If our choices are not predestined, and those choices alter the outcome of our lives, then we believe God is not the...

Perhaps we should reread James 2?

Revelation 13:8 Modern Translations of CT and MT. All those who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered. CSB and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has...

Our life can be seen as a series of events, some of which we think we understand the cause, but other events seem to arise from chance or causes beyond our ability to grasp. If our choices are not predestined, and those choices alter the outcome of our lives, then we believe God is not the...

Hi David, I have studied the doctrine, and you, it appears, have not. You seem to think Open Theism is not the opposite of exhaustive determinism, where everything is predestined. You are wrong. Calvinism = God knows the future because He predestines it. Bible = Everything is not predestined...

Open theism says everything is not predestined. Those that believe unbiblically that God knows everything imaginable, claim the biblical view is heresy. But they have never studied the topic. When asked why scripture says things happen by chance, they change the subject.

Cultural Standards arise the traditions of the past, whether reflecting the Biblical "Law of Liberty" or simply the provincialism of the powerful. What is the biblical basis for wearing our "Sunday Best?" To show deference to God or simply to fit in with what the rich and powerful wear...

Calvinism is based on Open Theism, as Calvinism denies God is author of Sin.

John 3:18 “The one who believes into Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed into the name of the uniquely divine Son of God. What aspects of Christ's attributes are in view here? As Lord and Savior!

John 2:11 This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed into Him.

Yet another petty personal attack, off topic and vile. The never-ending dance of the false teachers is upon us again. He has perfected (made holy) those set apart in Christ. Everyone set apart in Christ has been made holy forever by the blood of the Lamb. There is no need for any additional...

The never-ending dance of the false teachers is upon us again. He has perfected (made holy) those set apart in Christ. Everyone set apart in Christ has been made holy forever by the blood of the Lamb. There is no need for any additional sacrifice! But we have the ministry of reconciliation...

Romans 8:1 makes clear we are no longer condemned if we are "in Christ." But our unholiness, as "made sinners" resulted in our being not within God, but separated from God. So how did our spiritual location go from being "in Adam" or "in the realm of darkness" to being "in Christ or in Him...

On and on, nonsense posted upon nonsense. What does it mean to be perfected? To be made holy so that the person can be in unity with God!! The above nonsense is "by one offering He has "made holy" for all time those who have been made holy." Gibberish. He has made holy those set apart in...

Why would anyone post such easily shown to be false claims? I have no idea. Is the poster claim the verb in Matthew 5:48 is passive? Is the poster attempting to pull the old switcheroo and claim I was referring to Hebrews 10:14? Lord knows. What is for certain is we have yet another...

Yet another obscene thread, pushing utter nonsense! What does it mean "no person can come to Christ?" Does the OP poster know? Of course not. On and On, folks, false claim on top of misrepresentation. 1) No person can seek God or put their trust in Christ because of "Total Spiritual...

2 Corinthians 3:18 NASB But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. While this is not a clear translation, it does capture the...

I have pride in my service in the 4th Armored Division, not because of what it did while I was serving, but because of what it did to relieve Bastogne. I did not have pride in my M-14, with its adjustable site that did not hold its bearing, and could get so hot it cooked off its entire...

Yet another obscene thread pushing unstudied nonsense. Is Progressive sanctification a "vain dream." Or is it sound biblical doctrine. As Christians mature, should we expect our strengthening self control will exercise an increasing power over our "fleshly desires? Yes!
