precedent which has not been overthrown by heterodox open theism
open theism infers not only does God not know the knowable he is not omnipresent
I know until open theism came along everyone got it wrong.
but to your point you mean what the bible teaches ,
(Romans 8:29) For whom he...
open theism is heterodox.
1900 ish years of questioning classic theism and it holding up is evidence of tried and tested theology.
open theism infers not only does God not know the knowable he is not omnipresent
Jeremiah 23:23-24Psalm 139:7-12
moving on.
this is God's knowledge
(Genesis...

I often quip about “covid miracles”— the occasional unexpected and often surprising blessings flowing from the pandemic. This might be the biggest covid miracle of them all. Some of our heroic pandemic docs have managed to publish a...
God has exhaustive infallible foreknowledge
history is on my side
classic theism vs heterodox
we use the rest of scripture to interpret this
(James 2:24) You see then how a man is justified by works, and not by faith only
open theist Special Pleading we like this verse so you cant use the...
so now you want to conflate mans knowing beforehand and God's exhaustive foreknowledge
God has knowledge and exhaustive foreknowledge that is not even in the same league as mans
our knowledge and know before is bad T ball at best compared to God
no it does not , which is why I said :
more...
its an analogy , God foreknows , we only know
so here we have God in his foreknowledge telling us now he knows that
these people are going to have judgements poured out on them and they will not repent
(Revelation of John 9:20-21) [20] And the rest of the men who were not killed by these...
no
loves to bluff
all in on a nothing hand
no
the issue is does " now I know" mean God was taught something or a confirmatory declaration

God used his foreknowledge to teach Abraham and us
to have faith in God and obey God
even when...
Imagine a man who has known his best friend for many years. He knows his friend deeply — his character, his habits, and especially that he loves to bluff in poker.One day they sit down to play. His friend goes all-in with a terrible hand. After the cards are revealed and the bluff is exposed...
Abraham received a saving act of grace by God and was faithful thereafter
verse showing God's foreknowledge
Genesis 18:19 KJV —
Abraham received a saving act of grace by God and was faithful thereafter
so not testing God
we the readers have God prophesying his own sacrifice for the sin of...
he didn't answer mine
you want to make the testing of Abraham's faith to be a testing of God ?
it wasn't the buildings of sodom that were evil
(Genesis 13:13) But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD, exceedingly so.
(Matthew 12:36) But I say unto you, That every idle...
God was prophesying his own sacrifice for the sin of the world
God already knew Abraham was faithful
the question is still , Do open theist deny Scripture ?
open theist like to take a text and then pretend the rest of scripture does not exist and interpret the text without scripture...
you think God didn't know ?
(Genesis 3:9) And the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, Where are you?
(Genesis 3:11) And He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you that you should not eat?
(Genesis 18:21) I will go down now and see whether...
the question is still , Do open theist deny Scripture ?
open theist like to take a text and then pretend the rest of scripture does not exist and interpret the text without scripture
open theist have God needing to go to sodom to figure it out if the place was evil , so much for all knowing ...
like I said
so the open theist wants us to believe God was prophesying his own sacrifice for the sin of the world without knowing whether Abraham would do it . Genesis 22:12 ,Revelation 13:8
God said : "now I know you fear me " Not that God gained new information , he said it for Abraham’s...
says the guy could not figure out "the day you eat of it" meant that day ~_^
yes
and what does it say about those people
(Revelation of John 9:20-21) [20] And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not...
