| Posted 12/17/2001 1:53 PM (GMT -6) |   | There isn't going to be much meat in this post because it is just an introduction. My Aunt Springs asked me last night to join this board. I spent a few hours last night and a several more today reading parts of this site and posts on this board. I have attended Dr. Boyd's church on several occasions when I lived in MN. I have also owned two of his books [Letters from a Skeptic] and [Cynic Sage or Son of God]. I used the past tense because I lent them out and they later became gifts. :)
Even though I have had that limited exposure to Dr. Boyd in the past I had not heard of Open View Theism until last night when I visited this site. Therfore, I will have to do quite a bit more study before I will be prepared to discuss that issue (if ever).
I would post more about myself but I took some time today filling out a fairly long profile, so I will just direct you to that instead. If you have any comments on it from typos to doctrine let me know.
Springs, you asked and here I am; 'cuz I love ya.

It's great to have you on board! Nothing like a dramatic entry! You get the award for longest profile! whew.
That’s quite a list of “Well liked Christians” you got there! Sproul and Piper aren’t my favorites but I’ll give ya Mueller and Lewis.

Well, check out this linkwww.nexus.edu.au/teachstud/gat/peters.htmIn general, it is not simply having perfectionistic tendencies, but making it a way of life... The Freud Dude would probably term it as being Anal Retentive. I presume that is what PBS is refering to.

| Posted 12/17/2001 4:41 PM (GMT -6) | | | Good catch on the "Well-like Christians" wording Springs. That's not what I wanted to say. I wanted it to be a list of some people I like. I changed the heading. | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 12/17/2001 4:46 PM (GMT -6) | | MrI, umm... sort of, but not really. That article talks about some junk I totally reject like channeling positive energy. Okay that stuff is plain nonsense.
What I mean is the idea that Christian's either A) can keep the whole law perfectly after regeneration or B) must keep the whole law perfectly in order to "keep" their salvation.
On a related note I would reject the ability of a truly regenerate person to lose their salvation. You can lose your keys, and your wallet, and maybe even your mind, but when the creator of the universe tears out your heart of stone and replaces it with a heart of flesh you cannot call up your favorite heart surgeon and ask him to undo it. | | Back to Top | | |

Well, have I got a book for you! The best part is Doc himself wrote it. It changed my life and my understanding of the open view. It's called God of the Possible Get it -- it's a must read!

This list from your bio:

Kenneth Copeland
I see you straight for the big guns, what about their teaching places them so high on your hit list?
peace and love, don

| Posted 12/18/2001 4:48 AM (GMT -6) | | To Faithfull : Thanks for the link. I am not happy to see that. I have his book, Darwin's Black Box. And I like some of his explanations of Intelligent Design. I have to admit that I skimmed portions of his book where I got bogged down. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention, because I don't remember noticing that he believes in evolution. Bummer. I still like his Intelligent Design arguments. And he has some really cool stuff about eyes and blod clots in there.
To Several : I will add those books to my LONG list of books I'd like to read. There just isn't enough time in the day to read all the books I'd like to read. Unless I gave up working and sleeping... hmm...
To Dr. Boyd : He.
To Modes : Nope, Peace Be Still. (See my tag line).
To MBD : They have said things like : "The trinity is three beings made up of three pieces: body, spirit, ?(can't remember third thing), so there are really nine parts" , "Adam could fly and he once flew to the moon", "Adam could breath under water", "We are little Gods", "God's purpose in making man was to reproduce himself, we are little Gods", "God is about 6'2" tall and wieghs about 200 lbs. He has a hand with a nine-inch span.", "God has no dominion on earth", "God can't do anything on Earth without permission", "Christians should not be poor or get sick". The list is MUCH longer this. These are just some that come to mind right now. If you would like to hear these men, and several others, say these things go to www.equip.org and order the tape version of "Christianity in Chrisis". It will make your skin crawl and may make you lose your lunch.
