The Narrow Path Ministries

I was surprised to see you replied so quick with so much to say and it sounds like you have had a bit of time to think through some of these questions or that someone have spent a lot of time convincing you of this perspective. Sorry for taking so long to get back on this with exception of the last ...

by mattrose on Sat Oct 06, 2012 8:22 am Papa J, Most of the bullet-points you provided as proofs that God knows the future can be fairly easily explained by open theists . First, any open theist I've read (Pinnock, Boyd, Sanders) knows that God can control what God is going to do in the future, and ...

P. Simmond said on Sat Oct. 6th 12 "Whether or not the phrase ‘free will’ is found in the Bible is irrelevant. The question to ask is whether or not the concept of free will is found in the Bible. You are able to easily say that it’s not there because the way you define free will is not the way most...

Homer said: I also read through your screed on church history. It is a very troubling piece due to its innacuracies and judgemental nature. It appears clear that your so-called "historic christian faith" is nothing more than reformed theology dating back no farther than Augustine, and unknown befor...

What is the truth of Christianity produced in America, of the Issues involved between the 1st and 2nd Great Awakenings; and the variations of religion identified with Christianity, produced by the 2nd Great Awakening? This was originally posted on, “What is a good question to ask a Mormon? by a Morm...

21centpilgrim , you don't have to choose between Calvinism and Arminianism. When it comes to election, I think both Open Theism and Molinism do a better job of explaining how God's foreordination can exist alongside of human free will. Neither do a good job of understanding the Scriptures when deal...

I would like to give a reply to Homers statement back on page 3 dealing with John Locke, but was asked by another member to have my discussion with Homer moved to another area, so I would not discourage the Mormons coming to this message board. I asked Jr. if he could have the moderator move Homer’s...
