Open Theism And Aeviternity

[kafka]

Good point I could do that.

I began reading one of the articles (the Hexagon one) and the author seemed not to be aware of the teaching of Aquinas that God is Pure Act which I think is important for a fuller understanding of Eternity. The premises he presented as the traditional understanding of Eternity also were incorrect or poorly represented in my opinion. I'm not sure where he got them from. It could not have been from Augustine or Aquinas.

And I generally thought that what was being presented was too complex (in a bad way) and to be quite honest absurd. But that was just one article.

I'd rather hear what Rev has to say directly concerning Open Theism since he is Catholic. He could be adjusting some good points in the system in light of Tradition-Scripture-Magisterium.

Innocent,

Oh I see those links you posted are Rev's own threads, not articles by other theologians. I was not aware of those.

[kafka]

alright to be fair. I found Rev's article God, Time and us. . . and writing my own thoughts side by side with some of his paragraphs. I am not trying not to criticize his views just dialoguing with them and presenting my own understanding side by side.

Kafka, if you have time, you can read through these threads and find some points to respond to.
