I just wasn't entirely sure that it was another sock account for TheDarkSideOfTheMoon. His more recent posts pretty much confirmed that he was, otherwise he would have been banned a lot earlier.

Not necessarily. A clock is something that measures consistent, recurring intervals. Sequence does not necessitate consistent, recurring intervals. Yes.

You seem to have lost the plot of the thread. Let's recap: Again, time is not an ontological "thing." It doesn't exist outside of a thinking mind. God existed prior to creation (necessity of time as a precondition to creation; iow time was not created). God has always existed. God...

Buh-bye! Pretty sure at this point this is a sock account for a recently banned member. The "."s above below the text pretty much confirms it. That and the obsession (yes, obsession) with attacking open theism. Please don't return, Cygnus.

Again, if it's not free, it's not a will, by definition. Adding "libertarian" and "free" is redundant. And in the context of this discussion, insisting on using "libertarian free will" is just a way for you to try to escape the consequences of your position, in that anything other than...

Putting aside for a moment the fact that the verse you are referring to is about God's patience and longsuffering, which is stated by the verses immediately following that one, why would would God need to know this?

And with that, I win!

RD said everything I was going to say anyways. Why should I repeat what has already been said? Come down off your high horse for a moment, would ya?

Let's just start by pointing out that "libertarian free will" is a doubly redundant term. If it's not free, it's not a will, by definition. You won't find many Arminians here. On the contrary, Open Theism is just the belief that God is free, therefore the future is open. If you're saying...

Within the immediate context, no. But in another sense, yes.

Why does God need to measure time?

AMEN! "The words I have uttered to you." Who is He talking to? IOW Who is the "you" in that sentence? You can't rip a verse out of context just because doing so makes it support your position. That's called eisegesis. Bad.. what did you call yourself? CalvinistGoblin? Bad CalvinistGoblin...

Because God crossed an eternity. https://kgov.com/time see misconception 4. Oh, and @Clete, see the above link, misconception 3. That's what I was referring to earlier with my "time being a river" comment.

False. It is referring to the spoken words of the Lord, from the end of verse 5. Remember, Isaiah 40 is poetry. So you gave up? Why? Did you get lazy? Were your beliefs being challenged in ways which didn't suit you? Or perhaps you just lost interest...?

I prefer to use the term HIV. You know, like the disease? It and a couple of others should just be thrown in the trash, that's how evil they are.

If that's what you think wrt the Bible, I wonder what you must think of the creation itself, being corrupted and adulterated by sin... How could God, being able to keep a book secure, not be able to keep His world secure? Or maybe, just maybe, God wrote the book in such a way that even if...

If it tells you anything, it's that there will not be a peaceful transition of power this election cycle.
