| Posted 1/22/2003 7:43 PM (GMT -6) |   | Are There Two Wills in God?
Has this already been brought to the boards attention? Should I worry about this article even though I haven't read it? It just seems so intimidating--God having two wills--because it sounds like another assault on openness theology. Am I right about that?
Thanks,
Paul

| Posted 1/23/2003 4:25 AM (GMT -6) | | Here's the opening and first paragraph of the article?
"My aim in this chapter is to show from Scripture that the simultaneous existence of God's will for "all persons to be saved" (1 Tim. 2:4) and his will to elect unconditionally those who will actually be saved is not a sign of divine schizophrenia or exegetical confusion. A corresponding aim is to show that unconditional election therefore does not contradict biblical expressions of God's compassion for all people, and does not nullify sincere offers of salvation to everyone who is lost among all the peoples of the world." (Bold is Keith's)
At this point, who cares about two wills; seems we're already in a contradiction (I am an OVer, after all) before we even get started!
Oh well,
Starkman
