Knight. About the user control. I am able to get to the user control by clicking on [profile] (which is on the top of every page), and I can see the URL for the user control, but when I push the "go" button and go straight to the user control from the drop-down-list-box (on the control panel page itself... where else is that drop-down-list-box?), I get the error:
The requested URL /forumdisplay.php was not found on this server.

I'm figuring that is one of the directories that changed. You might want to check how that drop-down-list-box is set up.

Oh, and a question.

Since belief in God is more logical than atheism, why is the logical approach to evangalism so much less effective than the emotional approach?

Knight is a genuine believer.

Is it theoretically (though unlikely) possible for you to become apostate and reject God in the future before you die and remain in that state?

If not, why not in light of genuine free will? Does God then coerce believer's wills after they are saved, but not before?

If you cannot possibly fall away, then God has exhaustive foreknowledge of free moral choices (contrary to a tenet of Open Theism).

Is salvation a love relationship that must be freely entered into and maintained (realm of morals), or is it primarily an irreversible physical change (literal regeneration) in our constitution (realm of things, substance= meataphysics)?

Is OSAS really compatible with Open Theism, or is it more a sequelae of predestination (Calvinism) or exhaustive foreknowledge (Arminianism, kind of...)?

Then the answer is "no". God sovereignly chose to create man in a way where man could make his own eternal choice without God's coercion.

God knows everything He chooses to know which is knowable.
Thanks Knight. :) I think I understand. Could you give me a couple of Bible verses to support this?

Yes that is possible.

Yet God has given the Body an irrevocable gift which separates the dispensation of the uncircumcision from the works plus faith based dispensation of the circumcision.

2 Timothy 2:13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

You continue...

As I have explained above you were misunderstanding the open view position as far as OSAS is concerned.

A couple? How about the entire message of the Bible?

Isn't the purpose of God's word to let man know that God is real and man should choose Him? If that isn't the purpose of the Bible I would like to know what is.

2Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

And what instruction does God repeatedly tell man?

Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Basically God desires that man choose Him.

Joshua 24:15 “And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

I thought you were in the new dispensation of the uncircumcision, so for you, by your logic, it should be impossible (a NO answer) to turn your back. Free will, coercion, salvation principles are fundamental and not arbitrary.

Knight,
I am a Christian who threw an aluminum can away in a "not recycled" trash bin.

Am I going to Hell?
