Thank you for your patience and long-suffering.

Disagreement notwithstanding? I disagree any way. Did you mean the logical conclusion (just thinking that accentuating the has the greater weight of what you are aiming for)? I'll leave response here and also tie back into my conversation with Clete on two premises: 1) That most are jumping...

On the same page on this. See the post just above #725 for discussion

All of the following is a discussion about EDF: What it does, and what it doesn't do with logical proofs and propositions: I was referencing a statement you'd made earlier. You'd said God is often above our paygrade as limited, created humans (my take). I was simply in agreement with you...

Seems pretty straight forward but there is no need to revisit a 'mormon' connection. Honestly, it wasn't intended to be a huge discussion point. I'm just puzzled by the fact that so many Open Theist theologians are in ongoing conversations specifically because it looks like 'commonalities.'...

Sustains Literally what 'consist, make to stand' means. I don't care to argue over the difference. Don't care frankly. You can be wrong or supposedly me. Not important if you grasp the meaning unless you have a pertinent point and I suspect nothing. Don't monkey see/monkey do. Such is often...

I'll plead a bit on your former post that we cannot, as you rightly said, grasp all of who God is for one. Qualifying (2) is different between Open paradigms and the majority of the rest of Christendom. For this, because I and most of Christians believe the Omnis are very much beyond "Adam...

Saw this untouched for a month so thought I'd give it a bump. "Dispensation" isn't a word we use often, nor the synonyms: management, administration in theological discussion often. Dispensationalists generally mean: God has worked differently, with different people, at different times...

Sorry, it was dad humor, but caught me off guard, so I laughed.

Certainly 'in' pertaining to the topic, but no, wasn't in mind. Rather it is that I render all offerings 'in Him' to 1) acknowledge I'm a servant and need to bring all my conveyance under His watchful eye and 2) a bit of submission to my fellow man (you certainly) in humility. Only what God...

O.o and stinky!

This one?

Who gets to decide what is knowable for God? The term 'knowable' usually has a lot of qualifications from what Open Theists believe i.e. having just inklings of what is happening in Sodom and Gomorrah that He has to go see, not knowing where Adam is actually hiding. Because God is the...

Something akin to panentheism or exactly that. Colossians 1:16-20 that I often repeat on TOL. Open ideas/paradigms, often come from thinking "God is inside of the universe." "Creation, Concept, Expression, Handiwork, etc. are all equated if I'm grasping his intent. "In Him we live, and move...

Agree. God knew, thus wasn't asking 'where?' for information, but to hold men accountable.

Well, 1) I've given an apology, please accept it. 2) I'd hope you can empathize on this: Something is in common with Mormons or else the major Open Theologians and authors wouldn't be doing Bringham Young (Boyd, Sanders, Pinnock, likely more minor players). That alone is intriguing...

For shooting around corners... (I know! "Random!)

A small request (maybe): If it is easy enough, could you snip a quote to post with these, or do a synopsis? This from the Twitter page:

"Sometimes" rather, (I appreciate irony but take the criticism as good, you are correct). No, I'm just a random. My mind goes 100 miles an hour and it evident. My first drafts are rarely gems. I did graduate an MA with a very high score, but had to really work at it. You were talking...
