Still here! Thank you for your kind words!

A desire to lift Him up. Echoes of the Baptist :) He must increase. How are you sister?

I don't remember if I participated (5 years ago) and the link is gone. How'd the thread go? :)

The reports of my demise may have been slightly exaggerated. I truly appreciate the love however and I pray you all are walking in the love of our Christ daily. Blessings (another 'Lon'?)

This exacerbates theology: Change: chānj intransitive verb To cause to be different. To give a completely different form or appearance to; transform. To give and receive reciprocally; interchange. The fourth is okay in a sense BUT being "ALL and In ALL" is the definition of 'there...

God's word God is consistent and ALL! You do not grasp this, but you have God carried about by the whims and twists of the universe instead of the Creator of ALL. This is a HUGE problem with Mormonism and Open Theism. Both are short-sighted and lack a grasp of all that "Creator" entails...

Some things are not 'post' worthy, frankly. It is just posturing over theology circles. Let's aim higher as a better way of celebrating. I know TOL is 'smack' but honestly, the above scripture is why I don't post here often. We really need to follow the directives of our Apostle. Hope...

Tit 3:8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and...

It is done every day, there are plenty people in threads asking Open Theism to ante up on important questions and concerns. I've seen a small few move to Open Theism on here, but they were headed that way before they came. It means, literally, only an Open kind of mind is going to buy into...

Er, no, else you mean 'the Father is separate from Jesus Christ. Shore up your theology, please. Assertion. Save 'blasphemy' for another day, that isn't what I believe. Starry Night isn't sentient nor made in Van Gogh's image. See what I mean? Look to people that actually 'can' think out...

Where is your starting point to assert this? If man comes from and is sustained by God, how then can you assert that something that came from God, in the first place, is not part of His being and nature in the first place? Did God NOT make man in His own image? I'm trying to get you to go...

Good. Don't need to. Scripture is its own proof whether an Open Theist likes it or not. Most Christians give me a hard time for even talking to you guys. Scripture ALONE for the win! Not your or anybody else's 'want this to be true.' Colossians 1:15-20. You are CLEARLY wrong. Let "me"...

Depends what you mean. He is wrong on so much, I don't know that you 'can' hammer on it. A screw takes a screwdriver...

It illustrates the limitation of our conversations that can never go any further. You are silly, of course, to take ANY lack (real or more often imagined in your case) as if it is the quintessential mark of being a pastor or not. You simply don't have the credentials, Clete, your own...

It RATHER said "I change not lest..." Don't go beyond scripture. Read above. It is BECAUSE His nature DOESN'T change! It SAYS so! You are compensating. Simply read and understand the CLARITY of scripture! Yep. Read it again, several times. "I the Lord, DO NOT CHANGE lest...!"...

Yep Incorrect, you are simply voicing the limit of your comprehension at this point. You literally, cannot have 'time' with an eternal nonbeginning. You just aren't grasping the logical significance. You are in a small company, I think, of people who cannot grasp metaphysical concepts...

1) You receive an almanac from the future (easier to discuss certain foreknowledge without convolution). 2) It says it rains on March 2nd in Seattle. Proposition before proof: Does it prove it cannot help but rain on March 2nd in Seattle? Or does it merely record what 'did' happen...

Presupposes 'free' without definition as well. A 'culpable' will is what he/she is driving at, a will that cannot do otherwise). It cannot. My wife and I could answer simultaneously (have done so in the past), etc. etc. The law of exclusive middle is forfeit imho, it is all thus...

"Arminian" An Armenian is of German heritage if I remember correctly. I cannot remember who corrected me about 20 years ago here on TOL. In the way that Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever, we'd mean in His character, there never was a change. As far as 'flesh' it...

Or four-fold It is a matter of motive, but sometimes even good 'intention' but inept, is an awkward thing. It is why I get hung up on 'good' even if the guy had good intentions. Clete, isn't it still possible, that with good intent, ill can come from it? If so, how do we reckon 'good?'...
