A quote for open theism to chew on

By ElShaddai Edwards | Published: November 18, 2008

1 Samuel 15.29 (REB):

God who is the Splendour of Israel does not deceive, nor does he change his mind, as a mortal might do.

My initial reaction is that open theism does not presuppose that God’s mind was determined in the first place, therefore the openness of his reaction or response to a situation is not a matter of “changing his mind”, but fixing it on a path in the first place.

    Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!
