So glad I found this channel, can’t wait to learn!

So are there 1000 year old proof of jesus weeping? No and lots of people had the same names back then. No fisical proof today or jesus besides one book

But the answers don’t have to be finite if God is infinite. I haven’t read the book you listed just looking at the Bible God regrets, and changes his mind based on human responses. Is that not true?

Wouldn't Jonah and the whale be an instance of God contravening free will for his purpose?

I appreciate the video, however…how can I take anything that you have to say seriously after your statement about cake vs. pie?!? Pie has no icing, therefore it’s a logical impossibility that it is better than cake. #teamcake #iwillhavealittlebitofcakewithmyicingplease

What a crock! People are starving !

First time I’d heard of this term until today but this has been my thinking for years now though

Numbers 14:11 is a pretty poor example. God isn’t asking Moses why the Israelites reject him literally it’s a rhetorical question he wants Moses to contemplate imo. Genesis 6:6 is a good example of God saying he was disappointed with humanity 1 Samuel 15:10-11 is similar as well.

So God sets the stage without obstructing humanity's free will within set stage so to speak?

Heresy. Acts 2:23

Super helpful. I first encountered Open Theism when it was presented by critics as bogeyman of heresy. Didn't think much of it. More recently, I learned that IdolKiller is an open theist (still haven't yet watched his videos on the topic.). I was sorting through some theological books that I was given and saw the name "Clark Pinnock" in a "Four views on Predestination and Free will" book. Pinnock's name rang a favorable bell, not because I can remember reading Pinnock, but because I somehow associated it with views I hold. I read a chunk of Pinnock's article and thought, "Hmm, is this what open theism is?" I did a quick Wikipedia check and, yep, Pinnock was a lead articulator of the bogey man of Open Theism...except that it made sense from a scriptural standpoint and fit well into many of my convictions. That's when I came to the RUclipss to listen to Pinnock, found some poor audio quality lectures he was given and was distracted by this video thumbnail. Thanks.

How love God, and know his will, even without faith. Keep the commandments. Isaiah 66:23 Mt. 4:4, 19:17, 22:36-40.

Great summary

A man says to you, "God determines some events, but not all. Therefore, if God yet ordains to give even one more free choice to someone, then the future is at least that much open." Then he asks whether he is an open theist or something else. What do you say?

Great vid bro!

Molinism is dependent on one man named Molina. It’s as false as Mormonism because Joseph Smith. It is not Christian

Could is probability, not certainty.A vs Non A. Open theology is certainly simpler.Knowing all possibilitys is one thing, knowing what a free agent will choose is another. At the very least, if Determanism equals A, then you have example A. You cant, can you, use the same illustration to demontrate the truth of non A, non determinism? So, god knows what Liza, the rainbow cloured giraffe, would do because the beginning -:the antesitent, is in the ending. And God also knows what Liza Will do, the beginning, because its what she would do. The end is in the beginning. Its like a circle. However, with a moral free agent, dont you have to replace would with could?. God knows what Peter Could do, probability, because he has free choice because God cant know What he Will do There is No circle here. Ive probably got this wrong because its such a basic argument agaisnt molinism. Im sure james White would have thought of it, and used it as part of his arsenal to bust molinism wide open.

So molinism and open theism both hold that the future is not set in stone, but the difference is that molinists believe that God can see all the possible branches, and thus not be "surprised" by anything? Molinism holds that God is more intelligent, in a certain way?

Finally a video that just explains it. If this is correct, then it seemsl ike William Lane Craig, with countless videos on this subject, is totally misrepresenting what Molinism is.

God's reaction in Gen 6 to the wickedness on Earth seems to be a good verse for Molinists.

guess I am a molonist

I hate calling it molinism giving credit to some man what is clearly taught in the Bible. Here's a perfect example: Luke 22:67-68 [67]Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: [68]And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. The Bible has many other verses explaining how God knows what people would do IF this or that. God chose David knowing that he would fulfill His will. He also knew how David's life would have gone if He had never chosen him to be king. God closes doors that wouldn't be good for us to go through, knowing what would happen if He allowed us to go in that direction. Just like God chose David to be king, knowing he would fulfill His will, He also didn't choose those that He knew wouldn't fulfill His will if He had chosen them. This should be pretty clear to anyone who has studied the Bible long enough. Here's another example: Genesis 20:3-6 [3]But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. [4]But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? [5]Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. [6]And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Here we see that God knew what Abimelech would have done had He not warned him in a dream. The Bible is full of examples like this. I don't believe everyone was ignorant of this teaching until some man came along and introduced it to the rest of us.

I love your question mark - Light bulb. It Is cool and creative.

Tulip came after the 5 articles of the remonstrants.

🤔 I think of Dr. Strange in Avengers: Infinity War when he uses the green time stone to see every possible outcome 🤷‍♂️

This is such great content, and your presentation is fantastic. I'm hopeful that you're still making videos, thank you!

😮

Excellent! Great explanation!

God bless you. I'm sure the Lord is going to do miracles for you. The devil isn't happy so he'll fight you, but that will encourage you that you're on the right track. I pray the Lord inspires you guys with lots of new ideas.

That’s like asking is King Arthur historical. No the bible is full of myths and fantasy. It’s been proven the exodus couldn’t have happened and the real Israel is result of an internal civil war not an external invasion. Jesus probably existed but Josephus was forged he was Jewish and did not convert to Christianity so calling Jesus the messiah isn’t likely. He disliked messianic figures it’s evident in his writings. Despite what this guy says little to no historical data backs up the bible. I’d challenge anyone saying there are tons of historic sources backing up the bible to list them as mainstream historical data doesn’t show this. Humans evolved they were not created and the world wasn’t made in 6 days LOL

Don’t we all do this anyways ? All of us to some extent or other can run simulations of what if? If u have enough variables taken into consideration u can predict a lot of things … granted without factor x … the variable of unpredictability…

Great video. I am an Open Theist. On the subject of prophecy, I would add that God works to make his plans happen. He is all-powerful, therefore he can do whatever he wants. So when he declares that a certain event will occur in the future, this is not him "seeing" the future - rather, he is declaring what he will cause to happen.

Open Theism may be the worst doctrine ever. Thanks, I've heard enough.

Atheist for 35 years and finally someone explains it clearly.

I might guess that Jesus did not know everything that God knew, even though Jesus was God, because God can compartmentalize his knowledge.

Calvinists actually believe in the futility of free will

This hurts my brain, but molinism makes perfect sense to me. I've always pictured God as seeing all of time at once...like if I was looking at a ruler on my desk. If God is outside of time, then the future has happened, at least from His view. I'm making this up as I go along.

I'm starting to point this way. I don't believe in determinism as an absolute, but I am not a total Arminan either because I believe He can know what could happen like in Molinism. So, I think I am a Molinist.

God knows the future of his prophecies because he has determined (for most of his prophecies at least) to fulfill them

There’s a difference between seeing that God experiences time the way we do or that we are in the same time as God is although for us time is very different than it is to him

I am an open theist, but I do not hold to the idea that if God knew that we would all sin and that therefore he would be partially responsible! Maybe some believe that, but I don’t

Undoubtedly one of the most stupid heresies!

So this is kinda like open theism but in Spanish.... Let me say this, herejía aún así!!

Open theism limit the infinity. Its not true.

that was awesome thank you

So in Molinism, God is like a master chess player where He moves his pieces knowing all of the options you have available and knowing which of those options you are most likely to choose

Question : Believing or Serving the King- Jesus?

Hahaha, the captcha joke 🤣

Will you be able to start back up again now that Covid-19 pandemic is over?

*CALVINISM'S DOCTRINE OF DECREES* John Calvin -quote The creatures...are so governed by the secret counsel of god, that *NOTHING HAPPENS* but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed. (Institutes, 1, Chp 16, Par. 3) Thus NO impulse comes to pass within a human brain that is not knowingly and willingly decreed. And NO impulse other than what is knowingly and willingly decreed is permitted. Calvinist Robert R. McLaughlin -quote "God merely *PROGRAMMED* into the divine decrees all our thoughts, motives, decisions and actions"(The Doctrine of Divine Decree pg 4) Thus all of Adams thoughts, motives and decisions were AUTHORED by and followed - an infallible *PROGRAM* Paul Helms -quote Not only is every atom and molecule, *EVERY THOUGHT AND DESIRE* kept in being by god, but every twist and turn of each of these is under the *DIRECT CONTROL* of god (The Providence of God pg 22) Thus the thoughts and desires within Adam's brain were determined by a mind external to his - who determined what Adam's thoughts and desires would be - and granted NO ALTERNATIVE thoughts and desires.
