Scripture is explicit that God knows all things. 1 John 3:20 God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. John 16:30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. Psalms 147:4-5 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all...

in actual Christianity, the basis of Salvation is faith in the power and goodness of God. not in the horrendously undependable merit of human will.

it is clear in Scripture that, God knows all things God's will cannot be overcome by human will He has given man agency and judges us by our use of it He chose us, not the other way around Everyone has need of Christ for mediation and propitiation To all the offer of salvation is freely given...

you left something out -- i filled it in for you in green -- the only "humanly" comprehensible way "for you personally" that God could know... i reccomend you go re-read Romans 9 about 50 times, without presuppositions or prejudice, and Job too. it says what it says: God is awesome and...

is it really such a bad thing if God knew what He was doing when He created you?

typos-- paragraph 1: *contends paragraph 2: *abjectly

. knowing the end from the beginning isn't absolute determinism; that's the same fallacy open theism embraces when it contwnds that foreknowledge is causation. Biblical predestination does not necessarily equal hypercalvanism. God absolutely knows us. He does not create us ignorantly or...

compare also Genesis 3-4, the first mention of figs in the whole Bible is ((importantly)) in Genesis 3 - - - exactly what 'fruit of the ground' do you suppose Cain brought? Why do Adam and Woman choose fig leaves for a garment? They are small; if you were going to make yourself a tunic out of...

it is a symbol of Israel.

open theism is incompatible with scripture: omniscience and ignorance are opposites. Psalms 139:15-16 My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book...

in actual Christianity, the surety of the prophetic Word of God is independent of the will of man. Isaiah 14:26-27 This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. For the LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who will...

The term "open theism" was introduced in 1980 with theologian Richard Rice's book The Openness of God: The Relationship of Divine Foreknowledge and Human Free Will. The broader articulation of open theism was given in 1994, when five essays were published by evangelical scholars (including Rice)...

Clearly.

a testimony of Christ, to which He witnessed in Genesis 3:15 and Exodus 12:13 to name only two clear witnesses, and which has already been established was His purpose before time began. furthermore it is not prophecy here, it is the witness and testimony The Son, who from before time God...

hasn't he had 20 pages of opportunity in this thread alone? he's been preaching the ignorance of God for a year and a half here, friend. this isn't the first time it's come up.

mr. Thompson presents himself as an expert and committed evangelist of his sect, devoting himself to bringing news of God's ignorance to us all, as a personal mission of sorts.

however in actual Christianity, prophecy is not contingent on or by the will of man, but the sure word of God alone. ((1 Peter 1:19-21, Isaiah 14:24, Numbers 23:19, John 14:29, Job 42:2 e.g.))

"If their hearts do not change" so, prophecy in open theism is contingent on man's free choices, not on the Word of God. pure humanism
