I guess I should have qualified that remark by saying "the only option available TO US". Clearly, evil is not compatible with the glorious presence or divine nature of God. This is why it is often said that evil is what you get when God is rejected or denied. In 1John4:8 and 4:16 the bible teaches "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" and "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him". Each of these verses necessarily imply that to not choose love is to not choose God. The choice is real, so love cannot be the only option, and if this is true, it can't be love if there is no real choice. |

yes, of course. Boyd's views are not universally accepted. However, he does justify his positions with abundant references to scripture and quite conservative interpretations thereof. Have you read any of his works? |

Sir, "abundant references to scripture" are found in the works of many writers whose theology is far from orthodox, among whom are Mary Baker Eddy, Joseph Smith, Charles Taze Russell, Ellen G. White, E. W. Kenyon, Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland. Let's have no more promotion of Boyd's highly controversial ideas and writings on SBF, if you please. --Hank | ||||||

Perhaps it would help if you would articulate, in a nutshell, what you mean by "orthodox", with maybe just one verse to support each point you suggest. I agree that the authors you have listed are indeed not just unorthodox, but perhaps even heretical. (for Eddy and Smith, there is no doubt) Do you mean to suggest that Open Theism in general and/or Boyd in particular are heretical? Peace, Parable |
