    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    "Jerk" is different than "anger". No, I don't think you're angry here. But I've seen you get angry, and do exactly what you've complained about. Or, maybe you're not angry and you do exactly what you've complained about. (Which makes the anger talk a red herring, by the way.) My contention is...

    This is exactly what MADists do, though not as a rare exception, as a rule, as far as I've seen.

    If they are still having children, and people live to be 1000, there will be quite a few. Yes, but I didn't see how @JudgeRightly's description allowed for such.

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    "Mortal" means "able to die". Not sure how that fits with "none shall see death". I just don't see it as so absolute. The mortals might still die, but not from natural causes, and not as much from murders and such.

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    I see talk about what happens during a golden age period where people will live well past 100 years. Is that what you are referring to? How do you mean "to me"? I don't know what you mean.

    Just because you have no doubt doesn't mean scripture says it.

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    Ok, you're talking about accepting Jesus as king at the beginning of 1000 years? But that judgment is based on how they acted prior to His return, not on what they do in the 1000 years, don't you think? Maybe. But that means you think all mankind currently should also be thinking of it, but...

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    Can you give scripture for that? I'm not disagreeing, but that statement is not in the bible, afaik. That thought would be unlikely to be in their minds, like it is not in the minds of so many today.

    On the omniscience of God

    True! And I did. True. It was more defining the goalposts in the first place. They are if the Lord installed government to wield the sword for Him.

    Didn't make it that far myself. Reunited as husband and wife? Side topic, but she is "in the resurrection", where we are not married or given in marriage. It's still a metaphor, even how you are using it. He doesn't hit them on the head with an iron scepter. Hmmm. I was the one who suggested...

    On the omniscience of God

    If they are known to be pedophiles by the executioner, then hasn't due process already been served? Maybe we should. God endorsed mass executions here: Genesis 6:13 KJV — And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and...

    On the omniscience of God

    Since there's no history on the scenario, we don't know whether that has been done already. I never suggested the scenario, which wasn't originally mine, was realistic. Agreed, but we don't currently have that here, except that victims can view the executions. Not the same as throwing a rock.

    On the omniscience of God

    But that's why I said "the right part of government". That can be taken to mean whatever part of the government that has the proper authority to go after criminals with deadly force, if appropriate. Is deadly force appropriate for pedophiles?

    Where did the continents come from?

    We attended an ICR event in Colorado where Tim Cleary took us to see what he thought might be original granite crust material under Pikes Peak. It wasn't striated, but was solid for 20 to 30 vertical where we could see, with no intrusions of other rock.

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    That seems fair, but that makes it sound like Jesus will be a sort of superman, who intervenes right before the criminal can effect his dastardly deeds. I imagined, rather, that when someone committed a crime, the full force of the law would be applied against him, with perfect justice. No...

    But those who hate God of necessity hate their fellow men. And if you hate someone in your heart, you are guilty of murder, and all those people will be executed before Satan gets there.

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    Ok, then the judgment would be the same as for murder, right? So there wouldn't be any murderers left when Satan is released. And no liars and no adulterers and no thieves, and no one disobedient to parents, and not even anyone who covets. So where does Satan find all these people to attack the...
