ARCHIVE: Open Theism part 3

[bybee]

How do OT deny omnipotence? We deny that omnipotence means doing the logically impossible (making square circles). We deny that God always does all He can do (He does not always destroy people, etc.). You should also agree with this. We also do not deny omniscience, but we do differ as to what is possible vs certain future knowledge. In both views, God is not ignorant of anything logically knowable.

Agreed!
God cannot be qualified nor quantified by man's intellect. We formulate a belief system so that we may approach Deity in terms of our own understanding, and personally, I believe some aspects of faith and knowledge are simply mysteries which I accept.

No, you are just on iggy is all, can't remember why, unless it was in "Our Triune God" thread?

It happened in your "Perverted" thread.

It happened in your "Perverted" thread.

Thanks for the correction and input.
