2) Scriptural validation (Solved by changes on biblical interpretations. Various reasons)
So where's the post where you explained the use of the same adverbal phrase for these?

 
duration of punishment: eis tous aionas ton aionon Rev. 20:10

duration of God's honor and glory and dominion: eis tous aionas ton aionon
Phil. 4:20, 1 Tim. 1:17, 2 Tim. 4:18, Heb. 13:21, 1 Peter 4:11, Rev. 1:6, Rev. 5:13, Rev. 7:12, Rev. 11:15, Rev. 22:5

 
duration of the the Lamb's life: eis tous aionas ton aionon
Rev. 1:18, Rev. 4:9, Rev. 4:10, Rev. 10:6, Rev. 15:7

 
Even without exegeting the phrase we can treat it as a black box and see the parallelism of it's use as an adverbal phrase, eis tous aionas ton aionon

1) People's theological perspective can (gasp!) change over time...given new information.

2) I'm sure that you are aware that a little over a year ago, Doc himself claimed that my version actually DID demonstrate that open view theism was compatible with a version of universalism.
 
1. Yes, theological perspective can change over time, usually there's reason.
Obviously you answered your own objections to Miss E.  I'm just asking what those answers were.
 
2. This is an invalid argument (falllacy) and even has a name,  argumentum ad verecundiam  or "appeal to authority".
 

As others have pointed out, the "open view" is not about free will versus determinism. 

How can you reconcile the incompatibility of universalism and free will is the question?
