humblethinker, My post was from my textbook on the subject of Open Theism and not my thoughts. I told you in a earlier post that I was going to post this. Although I do agree with the majority of what I posted. The textbook used quotes from Pinnocks book, The Openess of God, and Boyd's...

It was just that you stated that my statement was not accurate, that sounded to me like you were saying I was being false. If that wasn't your intention then I apologize.

Just because you don't know of any Open Theists that hold to that doctrine doesn't make my statement untrue does it? I was just paraphrasing John MacArthur anyway. I agree there are varying types of Open threists.

Proponents of Open Theism say it is a challenge or even a denial to the sovereignty of God. Clark Pinnock was one of the first if not the first proponent of this teaching and he states that God doesn’t always control all that happens and that He is open to human input before deciding on matters...

I wasn't necessarily referring to the OT but essential doctrines. I will break out my textbook and see if I can share a few items of concern a little later.

Welcome and God bless you for your testimony.

I listened to a so-called expert on Israel this week and he felt Israel will attack Iran before our election in November because Obama will not side with Israel after he's elected, and he will side with them to get re-elected. Of course everyone always politicizes this stuff. Sorry if I'm...

I too want to see the troops come home but I'm sure there are several contigencies that are out there that prohibit that. For one having troops close to Iran in case Israel attacks them this year is a good thing in there (Pentagon) eyes. Also a total pull out now would most likely mean a vacuum...

I had a class on it years ago in college, it is called Open Theism. After considering several implications of God not knowing the future it creates many many troubling things within some of the essential doctrines in Christianity. If this thread keeps going I will break out my notes on it and...

He'll probably work the hate crime laws against Christians in the name of civilty. Once he gets elected Holder can work on demonizing us then make laws to outlaw various Christian activities, like speaking the truth or quoting the bible. Get ready. If he gets a liberal congress I wouldn't...

Your probably right on this Fred.

I think you right on the 4 years if re-elected. He will have his way with the American people, as if he doesn't now. I guess at least Hollywood will be happy. I just hate the idea of any of my hard earned money going to pay for abortions of any kind. I feel he has done more to be impeached...

The problems arise when science has to fit anything into their evolutionary narrative. If it doesn't then they demonize or dismiss it.

With the recent killings in Afghanistan by our US soldier should we get out now or wait until 2014. I would like to see us get out now unless it threatens our soldiers some way. Maybe it is time we pull out and let them have at each other. Didn't Obama want this? He goes around apologizing for...

Bill O'Rielly last night pretty much exposed Media Matters for their lies. Did you see it?

http://www.lifenews.com/2012/03/14/obamacare-1-abortion-payment-surcharge-upsets-pro-lifers/ Looks like Mr. Obama has sold us another lie. If America re-elects this liar-in-chief it will be the downfall of this country. That would mean the majority of our country approves of this guy and his...

I'm sorry it sounded as if you were slamming bibles in the pews. I guess I read it wrong.

I like that!

Even if this all played out, whoever was the sitting Prez would pardom him. It's the way it's done. Remember Nixon.

I agree the Graham family seems to have the right focus--CHRIST--where as Schuller's focus seems to have been lifting up man. Look at the school systems now that pushed the self esteem programs for years, they are failing. I wonder what Schuller thinks of these verses: 1Co 1:28 God chose...
