| Posted 6/27/2001 12:13 PM (GMT -6) |   | A question concerning the title of Buruce Ware's book God's Lesser Glory just entered my mind this evening whilst I was meditating on what it means for God to be glorified and whether or not I was living a life that glorified God to the fullest extent possible.
Does Bruce Ware believe that God gets maximal glorification? That is, does he believe that God gets the most glory possible in whatever comes to pass? If so, then the title of Ware's book is irrational since God is getting the most glorification possible out of this whole debate with the open theists. Ware's view seems to indicate that there can be NO "lesser glory" possible for God since a perfect God would not bring about anything less than the maximal glory that is due Him, no?
Is my thinking correct or am I missing something here?

I think anyone with a microcontroling view of God would have to say that God is getting as much glory as She (don't ask ) wants. Andif She always acts in such a way to giver Herself the most glory possible than somehow having people say She is not microcontroling (i.e. not glorious) gives Her glory.
In the same spirit remeber that BGC vote a few years back in which Doc snuck through by the skin of his teeth? How would someone like Bruce Ware interpret a vote like this? If Ware is right and the open view is not only wrong but dangerous and if God controls all things then She must have wanted to preserve this dangeously wrong view within the BGC for some reason! Probably to give Herself more glory even more glory later when She squashes the open view in the next political battle.

| Posted 7/2/2001 6:55 AM (GMT -6) | | Anyone else have anything to say about Bruc Ware and the title of his book in light of his belief that God is maximally glorified? Or does everyone here think that Ware is a nut and that this topic just isn't worth thinking about?
