Meet Judy Webb. She says she’s “just an average girl with an amazing God. I was never that brave, never really outgoing, usually was afraid of new situations. I often times would try to hide who I really was in order to fit into a crowd.” Read more about her story and what she thinks about the Sojourn community.

Hi Bob, Thanks for your
Hi Bob,
Thanks for your response. I will definitley read Ericksons book and get back with you. As far as Hezekiah is concerned you are right. The number of free will choices are staggering and to go even further, Does Hezekiah remain free to take his own life in that period of time. On the surface this seems puzzling. But again we are not really looking at it right. In verse 1 God tells Hezekiah in no uncertain terms he is about to die. In verse 6 he tells Hezekiah he is going to add 15 years to his life. The interesting choice of the word ” add ” reveals the fact that Hezekiahs life was about to end and that God would have to Sovereignly intervene in order to change this fact. If God knew beforehand that he was going to add the fifteen years to Hezekiahs life than this whole event is simply a waste of time. As for the actual bringing to pass of fifteen year extension who can argue that God is not up to the task of preserving Hezekiahs life at any given moment. The ability to make free choices does not entitle one to determine or even know consequences. All of those related to Hezekiah remain free to make any choice at any time they want, however, this never usurps God sovereign power to effect any result he desires. David obviously believed this when he fasted and prayed for the life of his son. If Gods judgement was not changeable then we must wonder what David believed could be the result of his praying and fasting. He declares what I believe is true and supports the open theism viewpoint, ” Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live “. David obviously believes God can change his mind. If God already knows the outcome beforehand then all biblical references to God repenting, sparing, forgiving are pure nonsense.
I will get the book today and get back with you.
Regarding the reverence of longstanding, classical views of the church I would say more caution is needed when anyone states that they actually know what these views really are. Outside of the Nicene Creed on which most agree I am not sure how representative the church as it is constituted today reflects the Church forged in the fire of real persecution and revolutionary changes that the first Apostles so aptly lead.
Let us agree on this -In all things may the Lord Jesus Christ be Glorified.
God Bless
