Openness of God or predestination of Free Will Part 1
Openness of God or predestination of Free Will Part 1 Openness of God, a different perception of God is a Protestant - Christianity, although not new, has appealed against the way we have always thought of God in nature. This paradigm shift is seen, is that the author brings us closer to the biblical concept of God. " This book is the opening of God is seen and remains very controversial in his perception of God and have far-reaching implications for all other fields of thought and evangelical life. The God in this book is not the monarch of unchanging history and the man in the individual life, but a loving father and suffering, which has chosen to influence human activities to him in a very real way. With a given value of what it proposes, as liberal process theology with a rotation of arminianism. But it seems that in reality is much more. These authors lead us to a God who is with us over time through self-limiting and do not know the future, in absolute detail. This new vision of God is "the vision of God" "Creative teismo Love" or "free-will teismo. 'It is extremely Arminianism, stops short, but the whole process of theology. Some definitions may be useful at this point there are two important theological convictions of the mainstream now - Church and Calvinism Armenianism. Arminianism is the belief that God gave man the ability to accept or reject it. Predestination is due to the will of God that the anticipation of responding to the gospel. It is also possible that a creditor may fall from grace. One can neither himself nor his desire to do something really well, until he is bo again by God. Calvinism says that man is completely fallen unnable to save himself, and that God was not the election conitioned end of something in people. The atoning death of Christ was sufficient to save all men, but only for the efficient elect. May the grace of God is irresistible to the elect of God, and that they are regenerated and saved will persevere in faith. Less commonly accepted, is process theology, the philosophy that more or denominational Bible based. Process theology is the belief that God is with the universe and do not know the future, but lea along with his creation, he is, at present, and therefore knows the possibilities and probabilities, but does not know news. Openness of God is not a new concept. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century Socinians the same topic. "God does not know so that he knows what surely come. "And in terms of people you meet, God knows, future possibilities, not certainties of the future. Both Arminians and Calvanists, along with most of Christianity has confirmed the prediction of human God possibility. John Calvin wrote: "[God] sees future events only because of the fact that he has ordered that occur. "Jacob Arminius wrote:" [God] has always been known that people have to believe ... and then the event because of grace. "The Orthodox never denied God's prediction of human decisions. Both Arminianists and Calvinists (the Church) do not agree with the theology open. I believe that a defect in the doctrine of God that covers all aspects of Christian life and leadership and succession, to a weakening of the glory of God. " Their theology has a direct impact on your style of leadership and the impact of redemption. After all your conceptualization of God, nature is what is imitated and lived in daily life. The opening of theology is not necessarily an extension of Arminianism, and is also not the opposite of Calvinism, or a response to the reformed tradition. Instead, it seems another tangent in the search for the divine providence and human freedom with a little 'input from the process of towing theology.The this view are primarily I think, in fact, the preaching of the Word of God and work of discipling others to Christ. However, it seems clear that no reasonable openness theologians and scriptural ground outside the theological mainstream in terms of God's omniscience and providence. Bible, the future seems to be less open than they are. Opening theologians argue that history is the combined result of what God and his creatures decide to do. God is always walking beside us, and work closely with all that we are through. God is omnipotent in the sense that He is the Creator of all and could control his creatures, if they so wished, but choose not to control by coercion or violence, but its role is influential and convincing. The issue of openness theologians is that God has been held hostage by teismo classic, where his transcendence is overrated and his personality as Trinity neglected. You say that this view is not of God with the revelation of God through the Holy Scriptures, namely, that God can suffer, mou and repent. One might think that the opposite of the sense of classical theism God is finished the process of God theology, but the openness of God is clear that God does not intervene and certainly will be the story to a conclusion in accordance with his wishes and goals with - or without the help of men. Open theology teaches that all the information about the nature of God, the logical contradictions can not be accepted theology. It must be all or nothing, as in the case that says that God knows the future, in absolute detail and with total security, but still part of the future and open-ended, ie, in the case of human decisions in relation to their personal salvation . Another tenant of openness theology is that true freedom means being able to choose between options without predetermination. This puts them in a position where neither the will nor predestination is an option. Ultimately, it means that the creature assumes and requires a degree of independence from God limited. While other Evangelicals and Calvanists particular favorites to give you an idea of freedom is compatible with it, true freedom is the ability to do what God knows, and has decided that it right.Thus to be totally dependent on God, and God is independence from slavery. For the followers of this opening is very strange, because it creates the situation seems to attribute the pateity of good and evil in God 'a powerful and convincing book, but has some serious problems, which prevents the reader as a nice wide model for life. For example, a self-limiting God rarely, if ever, intervenes to free choice and action of people in order to ensure that the history of this planet is in the way they want. For example, any decision that might impress and lasting impact on this cause and effect world. A good example would be an act of Peter denying Christ three times. There is a possibility that after Jesus told Peter that his master would have three times that Peter's fidelity to his Lord and not deny Christ and of God, the prediction would be so wrong? If God prediction was wrong, it would be error means that God, because God is Peter right in this case is to say, it was just a good guess, or that God knows the future. The same is true of Jesus' prophecy of Judas as a traitor, the Bible says in John 6:64 "Jesus knew from the beginning .. that it was he who was betrayed. "If Peter does not deny Christ or Judas betrayed Christ or not advocates of openness of God, are faced with a dilemma. As before, the real weakness at the opening of God comes when the authors distinguish between the infinite and personal attributes of God. This creates a tension that can not reconcile drops, so that the ball when most issues are personal God and lose sight of its infinite nature. The conviction that God is finished, or at least restrict it to be as such that he does not know the future and can not know the future, although personally. This is very selective and the glory of God is lost in this model of God that encourages us to embrace. As a result they tend to words mean one thing, men like us and over, and apply the same words and works of God who is infinite. Words simply can not go back on an eteal God, as it is for humanity ...
