God of the Possible, Greg Boyd TWO The God Who Faces a Partially Open Future Thus far we have examined the motif of Scripture that celebrates God’s sovereignty over creation and lordship over history. God predestines and foreknows as settled whatever he sees fit to predestine and foreknow as settled...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

Nothing wrong with dual layered at all. Allegorical meaning is fine, although maybe speculative at times. The problem for me is allegorizing things completely, which started happening later on in church history. It was not Jesus' or the apostles view. just that Complete Exhaustive Foreknowledge does...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

I'm going to be honest... no, lol. Well, I have some thoughts. Eden represents the heavenly state, the real paradise where nothing goes wrong. Some people try to backtrack animal suffering into Eden and I think it's doctrinally wrong to state that as "very good." Eden was the idyllic state, see, be...

Re: General Question about various beliefs held by various people

Dizerner: Nobody can take the Bible literally, aside from the fact the word "literal" is too indefinite to understand. There are statements we have to take with some other meaning like getting whatever we ask for, and gauge against the import of all other verses like not asking for the right reasons...

Boyd is a Ph.D so he is very intelligent and thinks through things. But how can he come to some of the conclusions he does? It does not seem like such ...

General Question about various beliefs held by various people

The crux of my question is whether people who hold various "unorthodox" or "heretical" views all have in common that they do not take the bible literally? I'm not disregarding the value that these various people have in various ways, just that, if they are genuine lovers of God and Jesus, how can th...

Re: The Flood

njd83, You quote a lot of extra-Biblical books to support your theory about what the Bible is telling us in Genesis 6. I believe some of those can be useful at times, but the main proof text should be the Bible itself. Many times, the extra-Biblical books contradict the truth of scripture, and ther...
