I swear to you, this is not what I believe.
This is what you think my position logically entails. And I understand that concept.
However, you have not provided sufficient reasons to believe that.
I've asked you to explain your position and you posted a video. I've extensively debated these subject in my life. As I've said before, I refuse to deal with people's claims of this nature without them owning the perspective themselves. I've wasted my time too much debating details to only find out that person really doesn't understand their position and ultimately denies their original claim.
You constantly insist on making God naturalistic in how He operates.
I disagree. I expect God to have "reason" or to be "reasonable". Such is a Divine Quality of Divinity. There is no such thing as God having a "messy room" that He ultimately cleans up when it gets too dirty. God has purpose... direction. Ultimately a goal. Providence. That isn't "naturalistic". There are things I do not understand but the framework exists. We can define the framework. I expect to hear arguments with reason. Where I don't believe we can know, I'm glad to admit it.
That is, unless you feel like you can understand HOW God does something, you think it is logically impossible for God to do it.
In ANY GREAT HOUSE..... There is a foundation that is built upon rocks and walls. I start with the foundation of what God has revealed to us in His Character. I extensively studied the Character of God throughout my life. I desire to know HIM more. I lead with this. Everything I believe must be constrained by what I believe God's character demands. If you see me say anything contrary to God's character, then please let me know.
I believe you are leaving too many things to "chance" to "guesses" of mistaken philosophy or personal desires. I do have my own personal desires. I have what I want to see in my theology but it must be constrained by what has been revealed by God to us in the Scriptures.
God knows a thing without any kind of logical correlation or interaction with the thing known.
Any? Any logical correlation?
Interacting with the "thing" is a different issue. Open Theism does not teach this. Which is why I'm challenging
@Kampioen
I actually like Greg Boyd. I think he is a good and honest man. A very learned Theologian. I disagree with him on many things but he is reasoned. Calculating. He has dealt with Calvinists that have been rather cruel toward him. Men that should know better. Shallow men that care more about their reputations than they do the truth. However, I don't believe what I believe because of men nor because of my relationships with men. At times, good men get it wrong and bad men get it right. I go point by point. Precept by precept.
Isa 28:9 “To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, those taken from the breast?
Isa 28:10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.”
God knows what I would freely do in an infinite number of universes without it being contingent upon anything from me, or anything at all.
All I have asked is that explain the basic framework of how that works. As others have said and I agree, if you study the biblical languages, foreknowledge is God's choice. There is a philosophical argument to be made that Omnipotence can be the singular focus of all Divine qualities. Absolute Power isn't limited by us.
I have alluded to concepts of Predictability. I can accept some form of argument that includes a sense of predictability. I believe that is compatible with my view of how time operates.
That's what supernatural omniscience really means.
You are actually the one limiting God and not allowing him to be outside of time—Edit er mod.
Not when I have clearly stated that time is Infinite.
I've tried to engage you on this to a greater degree. I haven't been successful. Just because you say that God is outside of time doesn't equal God being limitless in your construct. We need more information. I see it as a rather empty argument.
It basically goes... "God is outside of time, I win...."
You still have a construct that requires information from a source other than God. Saying "it is a miracle, I don't have to explain" is empty as well.
God's purpose is Limitless and Eternal. Time without end.
God's providence is Limitless and Eternal. Time without end.
Neither one of these two statements creates a scenario where there is an issue. Saying, "God knows and I don't have to explain how, He just does" doesn't establish a Systematic Theology.
