Thanks for the welcome. I've read some of your posts. You seem like you've been at this for some time now. Maybe you could help me with some questions along the way? Are there other open view boards out there that you would suggest?
I had never heard of the open view until a year ago. I met a very helpful theologian online over a year ago at a mid-acts message board, and he has continued to help me with my studies ever since. He introduced me to the open view and conditional prophecy. At the time, I really didn't get a lot of what he was trying to show me, but recently I came across the Christus Victor website (Greg Boyd) and it has really opened my eyes by showing all the Scripture supporting the open view. I love the site, but as much as I've gone through it, I still have many questions. Of course, I'm still very new at this, so it's not totally solidified in my head yet.
I've tried the search engine several times, but it times out. Maybe it just needs to be updated?
How did you come to the open view? Do you know Greg Boyd very well (I see he used to post)? Do you know Bob Hill? I used to go to his board a bit (after he retired from it) but it's down now.
Thanks again for the welcome! | | Back to Top | | |

Wow! That must have been great having Greg around all the time. Why did he leave the board? Are there any other boards like this one? I would like to talk to as many seasoned open view folks as I can.
It sure does make more sense than predetermination (which is what I was taught). Predetermination never sat right with me, but I never really looked into it very much until not long ago. I was also taught that God is "outside of time." I don't think I know anyone who thinks differently than that. Where did that view come from anyway? Is there some kind of scientific proof that the future is a "place" that can be gone into? Don't laugh! I'm sure you can tell I have zero background in science.
I saw Bob Hill's name on here, so I thought you might know him. He used to have a message board for mid-acts open view. I went to his site to learn more about mid-acts and got more info. on the open view.
Well, I hope to see you around! | | Back to Top | | |

I do have facebook but I'm not on there very often at all. I prefer message boards.
Thank you for letting me know! | | Back to Top | | |
