We are in a new era. A well-reasoned, non-flaming piece WOULD be read by me and probably others.

I think your knowledge of math and engineering(?) would be welcome in a discussion of time. Did you see Alamo-Girl's post on the other thread? Excellent.

I'm not an open theist. I want the freedom, however, to discuss it. And if someone is an open theist, I want them to have the freedom to discuss it.

"God doesn't foreknow as true that which is not going to be true about the future." Do you agree with that? That's what I was trying to say in the other line that you paste/copied.

And who has said they can't?

This was not the answer you gave for not reading my posts in the past. They were simply too long. Or so you said.

I have skimmed through them. But to be frank, my being an expert in certain things is irrevelant. The Omniscience of God is not "rocket science." It requires nothing more than a truth receptor in one's soul. See 1 Corinthians 2:14. There is a dangerous theme which plays out on these threads. Over and over, Arminians appeal to intelligence and scientific reasoning (please note that I'm not impeaching Alamo Girl) in the formulation and defense of their doctrines. We Calvinists come along with our Bible.

So, I am particularly uninterested in discussing "time" with you or anyone. If there is a disciple of Boyd here, I might be willing to show him/ her a thing or two about what the Scriptures really teach.

Woody.

Can I have the FReedom to whack the Open Theists with a stick? ;^)
