Sorry to clutter the site with posts. I'll try to back off! In the meantime, tell me this passages suggests an open future. I didn't see it among the Old T. passages Doc lists on his site.
2Sam. 12:21ff:quote:
21 Then his servants said to him, "What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while it was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food." 22 He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, `Who knows whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 23 But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."
Can sense be made of David’s reasoning if we deny a partly open future? Everything about David’s actions, and his own explanation of his actions, presumes he believed God could change his mind regarding his decision to bring the boy’s life to an end. David believed the boy could yet live, regardless of the fact that God clearly announced he would die.
