Hello.

[Pig]

I'm a researcher and teacher specializing in Sensus Plenior interpretation of Scripture—uncovering Christ-centered meaning through symbolic structures in the Hebrew Bible. I’ve developed a custom AI system ("Echo") to assist in consistent SP analysis, including symbolic concordance building, gate-based Hebrew parsing, and theological pattern tracing across the canon. I teach regularly, including in correctional settings, and I'm currently working on structured SP training materials and academic outreach.

Theological Position:

I don’t align with Open Theology per se, but I also reject the idea that the past or future exist as ontological realities. The past is merely memory; the future has not yet occurred. What God knows is not a timeline but His own purpose, which He can accomplish regardless of our choices. My work in Sensus Plenior reflects this: Scripture is filled with symbols planted by the Spirit—not to predict fixed events, but to reveal Christ in every possible circumstance. The prophetic nature of the Word doesn’t rest on foreknowing the future, but on embedding eternal meaning in the present.

We will know God the easy way or the hard way; that choice is ours.

I have not discussed this with many, nor have I engaged much with 'Open Theologists' so I see this as a learning experience and 'blind test'. I am mostly interested in reproducible and verifiable hermeneutics than debate.

Sounds like you align significantly with Open Theism.

I think forum rules prohibit linking to other sites like that.
