It didn't. Think of Strong's as the Reader's Digest of lexicons. It gives what a Hebrew/Greek word is most translated as and gives a snippet. Brown,Driver, Briggs is the go to: bird of prey perhaps kite or hawk Then go to the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon: Bird of prey, seeing all at once the...

Is Time ontological? It appears the jury is not in, leaving us posturing. However, to say God is stuck in durative succession is the same as denying time is a mere concept, that it is something that 'binds' God to forward momentum. Such is a discussion about 'what is real' and materialists...

Did you mean one that looked like a horse?

See here, to view, to behold, etc. It doesn't have to mean 'to learn something.' We cannot proof-text it to mean 'to find out what He didn't know.

That is, at best, a guess on anyone's part. You are one of very few Open Theists that think God had no clue where Adam was. Let me say that again: Most Open Theists, even, don't believe that. It is important.

Keeping this so we both can reference it for exactly what infinite means. Realize 'infinite space' is conjecture. God made it. Can He make an infinite universe? Possible, but the question is did He and we take liberty. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth...

It is either "Poor poor Clete..." or "You're drunk!" or (better) "What is your point? Is it simply to discredit, compensate for something? Did you pray before posting it? Run out of God-given patience thus exasperation due to lack of time?" I'll simply say work on it. You've done...

That isn't what a Mid Acts theologian believes. If you are Covenant Theology, all of scriptures applies to you, land, ox, temple, cattle... If you are any other kind of Christian, you don't apply everything and recognize quite a bit wasn't written 'directly' to you, but has application...

Literally 'without finite.' A line is infinite. No beginning, no end. Infinite means all that is 1) created and with finite property, from an infinite God. Mind you, I'm seeing your point and the intimation, but as I read and interact with quantum physics, that which seem not possible is...

Two points to consider: 1) Cart before Horse: Ephesians 2:8-10 says regeneration/indwelling, then works God prompts us to do. 2) James vs. Ephesians: Which is right? Both, but different audiences. James to Jews (even though in our 'gentile' Bibles). Ephesians (pair with Acts...

Examples of disinviting conversation (might help, might not but I pray over the difference):

Doesn't help. It actually is dismissive, disinviting. I've been sympathetic with Calvinists and because of that, there is not but graciousness from me in their theology, empathy (double-pred a different group, but I try). Why don't Open Theists practice longsuffering, patience, and...

In a sense, yes, but if we are wrong, we need to adjust accordingly, being always moldable by God and not hardened if challenged. It means, I believe, always a humble state of dependence on God as well as inherent to our walk with Him. His does, if you will. If we get so stringent He...

You know, pretty much only Open Theists say this? Know what that means? It means your theology is driving everything in your lives. Look just above. JR put laughter, and you before that, but you guys are purposefully (purposefully) brain washing yourselves for a pet doctrine. Thank you...

No, not too high. It is well researched, well written.

It doesn't make them not real. 10 minutes is pretty solid, I see the change on the clock which accurately measures duration. I have to have 3:19 and 3:29 to mark ten minutes. What you are describing, and I applaud, is timelessness, at least as the likely alternative. Insomuch as any...

I tried. It was painful. I've given good faith on many other of your videos. I rarely use it, see it very often from Open Theists. "You idiot!" or something like. "That's ridiculous" or dare I say " Philosophical nonsense," from his own lips. In most schools of debate it is...

. .________. ._________> <-----------------------------> The first is an easy concept. One point in history. It isn't durative. It is a point. A beginning or an end with no action. We conceive of it, yet it has no duration. The end of a book, last period. It simply means 'end'...

I don't buy the premise (and this particular video is unwatchable). It is wholly Open conjecture that I don't see supported by the scripture. It literally (word for word) discussed the vast difference between God and man and addresses exactly the difference that arrogant man thought he was...

Honestly? You do a better job than this guy. When one says, for instance "Philosophical nonsense," they are the ones with fingers in ears. While I don't mind Open Theism persay, those who become arrogant are unwatchable. He claims of himself he is well-known. How well known 'can' he...
