Jehovah's Witnesses and Openness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See the following link for a favorable opinion of Dr. Boyd's work by an active apologist for the Jehovah's Witnesses.

An appeal to the fallacy of guilt by association?
In which case, shall we condemn the resurrection because Mormons believe it?

GDG,
I thought people here might find it interesting.
Sincerely,

Unworthy,
I though it would be interesting to know how Dr. Boyd's work was viewed by other parties. Evidently I am wrong. Instead, the "martyr complex" rears its ugly head again.
Sincerely,
Dave

Dave: I am sorry that it seems that way to you, but by and large people who post such things do so to "prove" that the open view is wrong which, as has been pointed out, would not work (it would be the same if a open theist pointed to a Muslim site praising the work of Calvin to show that Calvinism is wrong). I am curious: are you a reformed believer? If you are, I would simply suggest that you post the reasons why you bring such things up in the future simply to clarify why you are doing it. That way there would be no confusion. John 17:3 Harold

Dave: Where does it say that it is a JW site? I couldn't find it...

Though, Dave, I did want to add that I think it is perfectly reasonable for people to ask what reason you have for posting the site. What does it add to the discussion for this to be pointed out? Its a legitimate question. Having been there, the post really adds nothing worth reading (if you know anything about the subject). So, it would seem that the only reason to post was because it was by a JWs. John 17:3 Harold

Dave, how do you know this post (which is simply a cut and paste from the Christus Victor website) is a “favorable opinion of Dr. Boyd’s work”? And how do you know “Edgar” is “an active apologist for the Jehovah’s Witnesses”?
About 10% of the people who visit the Christus Victor website describe themselves as nonchristian. I’m glad that people of other faiths visit the website because I think Doc is an excellent apologist and truly has the gift of evangelism. GDG

Writerdad,
Evidently what's interesting to me isn't interesting to you. Sorry to bother you.

Dave,
That was why I posed it in the form of a question. Thanks. I did look at the site, and agree that it was interesting. More particularly that Openness seems to have touched beyond the bounds of Christendom to effect the thoughts of others. Perhaps this will continue to broaden.
Personally, however, I feel that OT's strongest arguments do not lie in the relationship between God and man, but rather God and Himself. Though the former may have some appeal to the heart, the latter holds up better under logical scrutiny.
