Are you kidding? Did you not read his last 2 posts at all?

Maybe. But that is open theism. If God's knowledge increases, it doesn't matter where the information comes from. it only says when they "fall to the ground", right? be careful of extrapolating. God might have told His angels to let Him know if any sparrows die. Did God know, at the foundation...

If you read the passages about how God knows things, it becomes more clear. God "searches" our hearts to see if there is any wicked way in us. He "numbers" (counts) the hairs of our heads. If these passages mean what they seem to say, then God acquires information that He didn't have before. God...

And you're doing the same thing with Rev 22:19. If it's ok for you to filter the whole bible through ONE verse, which is what you've said the word of faith followers are doing (except that they use 2 verses), yet you admit in this post I'm responding to that open theists filter the whole Bible...

Are you really prepared to say that you know exactly what that passage means, despite 2000 years of scholars debating what it means? And that you will interpret all the rest of tge bible based on your understanding of those verses? That's astounding! And now your only comment is to try to lump...

Logic aint all it's quacked up to be.

Was Jesus then talking about an old church that He was going to add to? (I lost track of this thread, so forgive me if I've asked that already.) The text allows for that, I think, when Jesus says He will "build my church", but I don't think it does when talks of building it on the foundation of...

I congratulate you on your patience.

Not to mention that @Bright Raven probably never heard of them before he started looking for anti-Open Theism sites.

That's no doubt the German word for gypsum, because gypsum causes you to spit when you get the dust in your mouth. :p

Was it God's exhaustive foreknowledge when Isaiah told King Hezekiah that he would die of his illness, or was it God's exhaustive foreknowledge when Isaiah told the king he would survive his illness? Can God have exhaustive foreknowledge of two opposite outcomes for the same person?

I saw your post right after you made it, but haven't had much time to go through it or the pdf you linked to. Here's what it made me think of. I've been listening to old Superman radio episodes on Adam Graham's Old Time Radio Superman Show podcast. (Hang on for the connection.) It's fun...

It didnt seem like @annabenedetti was speaking of the Eucharist, but a building. And I was hoping to point out that His presence is guaranteed when two or more are gathered in His Name (as, say, "CHRISTians"), not dependant on a building. Nor on a sacrament, for that matter. Trying hard to...

Is it mansplaining because you're a woman? Are you saying you can't make rational statements because you're a woman? That surprises me a bit, because it makes it sound like you are admitting that you need someone to explain things to you just because you are a woman.

How does 2000 years fit into 500? Sounds like you are packing into those doors what isn't there usually, your feelings. And @Idolater @idolais right (in a way), that such feelings of "home" should be reserved for Christ, His death and resurrection depicted by the eucharist, and more importantly...
