Prognosis 🤔 I'm not a Christopher Fisher fan, too indoctrinated to even consider the debate points, he isn't doing talking points, but rather doing 'smiling' commentary. He isn't even listening, just immediately going to a standard rhetoric. Two ships passing, never engaging (Bob listens...

At least he is clear now 0.o

bump @Derf if you have time and inclination and ty for your time spent here.

Not physically. He is Spirit, which is how we are made in His image. We were created with goodness, justice, mercy, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self control. We were created with eternity in our hearts Ecclesiastes 3:11 If analogy yet serves, we certainly had responsibility...

True, but 'who' made it necessary? This is a bit rough, but I'm trying to collate my thoughts into a working theory: I appreciate Open View in this: a consideration of omnipotence. Almighty means all power. Let me float this: When God created, 'power' went out, if such can be true for...

Not who, what. Isaiah 45:5 Hebrews 7:3 John 1:1-3 Scripture needs to inform your theology, else it is just you, and an imperializing of just 'your thoughts' over His. If He is God, let Him tell you Who He is. Micah 5:2 Psalm 90:2 Genesis 1:1

If the shoe fits... You might like sandals, but your shoe size is showing.

This debate?

Try saying it a bit differently. People are looking for you to say: "Jesus was God prior to incarnation, He became flesh, both God and man." They are looking for a clarity statement.

Internal struggle. I've ghosted you much longer before so I understand. We grate on each other but I'd suggest you've been a bit irritated on TOL lately. Take a few months. This isn't something adults say hardly at all to one another. It is rather a wrong value statement, likely from...

You are Arian? Who knew?

From my days with Calvinists, I'll prompt a bit for discussion. Mayhap Blade will take it up: Do I sin? Yes, it is under blood as if I haven't. Did God ordain that I sin? Yes, if by ordain you mean 'put it and the Cross in order.' In a sense, that is what Open Theism means by...

Only when it is edited on TV. Way too much language for me. There is a book out called "Caraval" that is as plot twisting you might enjoy (more than "The Game." I think the movie will be called "Black Heart" (in the works). No cussing, swearing and though it has rascals, it carries a...

Be more specific. I'm not following at all. It wasn't a question I responded to, it was a 'meh.' Then I'd hate it, but He didn't and I don't. If so, it'd be the nature I was 'created' with. I want that, Derf, the intention of His creating me. I want holiness. It definitely cost me...

"Ordination" doesn't mean authorship, it simply means 'putting things in order.' No matter what, we all believe God is orderly and will put His creation in order, however it comes out. In Open Theism, God is likened to a Master Chess Player (omnicompetence) such that God 'allows' the first...

Isn't delegated power, still His power? 🤔

You are that self-important? Self-interested? Omnipresent. Let me be blunt: If it is to His glory, I'd love it. His will is always going to be better than mine. You obviously aren't there? don't trust? You've done so incredibly better than God with your own will? Not me. 1 John 3:2...

"All" mighty. Unqualified, it means "All" Omni (all) potent (powerful), regardless of theology perspective or objection. All means all. Might means might. Questioning that, we might as well question any scripture word is accurate. Fore (before) knowledge (not prediction, known) is...

It isn't paramount, rather His will is. If I were less, I'd be less 'christ'ian. 1 John 3:2 When we see Him, we'll be like Him. Agree, but if one omni, all omnis by logical conclusion. Not when I'm the one who needs to change. It is the goal of my belief and faith. Even in immutable...

If I were to become Open Theist... ...what do I win? (to omni or not omni) There is no intention of being vitriolic here, I've weighed this over time. I'm prompted to voice concern. What is Open Theism ideology for? What is the point, sincerely? ...I'd have to eschew omnis that are...
