I use the KJV mostly, too. And I'm a strong proponent of open theism. So it seems that we agree your OP is a nothing-burger.

That's what I'm asking you.

Such must be contrasted with: Revelation 21:23 KJV — And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. "Months" is a lunar concept which only works with the sun, in our world. So your example proves...

It is, even if you don't recognize it. Think of an hourglass. Or a wind-up clock. Or a Timex. Or, especially, an atomic clock. All if them are measuring a steady progression of order to disorder. I'm not disagreeing with that, but if time as we know it always involves a decrease in order, does...

Why, are you trying to plant a seed of doubt with your inquiry?

GPS is a system that generates precise radio waves in accordance with a base frequency derived from atomic clocks and available to anyone who cares to receive them. The satellites that emit these radio waves are moving at high rates of speed with respect to an observer on earth, and at a...

If time on this Earth is measured by increasing entropy, then I would not expect God's time, which would be used on the new Earth (and in the new heavens) to be measured that way.

This is an important point, and what it means is that everything is a clock, measuring time in some way. In that respect, then, time and the second law of thermodynamics are inextricably linked, as far as we understand time. There's obviously another understanding of time that we will have in...

Either ether or aether is correct.

Here's the Hebrew, translated "of horses", for 1Ki 4:26: סוּסִים Here's the Hebrew, translated "for horses", for 2 Ch 9:25: סוּסִים Can you show me where they differ?

Why? At least, why anymore than any other doctrinal position? Are you able to show how a scriptural misunderstanding that would lead one falsely to the open theist position is moot when one uses the "correct" translation? Or, if you're in favor of open theism, how the correct translation leads...

What does any of this have to do with open theism?

No, what you are suggesting is that the Bible does not have enough information to fully interpret it, and that you have some special knowledge that you can add, but we can't verify the source. Why is that a better solution than admitting some mistakes have crept in that don't change the message?

And?

Or punditicide?

Let's assume that open theists are like the rest of the Christian population, as you describe. What point are you trying to make? If the bible we have is not useful, because it has significant errors, additions, or missing parts, then open theists are in the same condition every other type of...

@Right Divider answered pretty clearly, and while we differ on a number of things, I'm at a loss to know how he could have made it any clearer. Can you explain what needs clarifying?

Amway?

Thanks. I haven't forgotten, but I've only had time for drive-by posting lately.

Isn't it a Ford Pinto? Then the flames are going the correct way.
