Point number 3-Christ was raised from the dead on the 3rd day according to the Scriptures. Unique among religions. If Jesus is not raised, christianity is finished.
We are now number 6 for “open theists” and number 18 for “openness of God” on Google.
Reinhard Bonnke, Loren Cunningham, Steve Saint and Ralph Winter were all speakers at a Koren missions conference held last week at Wheaton college. My strong suspicion is that Wheaton has never seen or heard anything quite like Reinhard Bonnke in Edman chapel shouting hallelujah at the top of his lungs and 3,500 Korean pastors shouting in tongues or Korean for a prolonged period of time. I had the good fortune to be present for that one. That was fun and one for the record books.
Scripture is “God breathed” and thus fully inspired from Genesis 1 through the end of Revelation. According to Francis Schaeffer, Scripture is one of the three mysteries in Christianity that will always puzzle rationalists:
1.Scripture is simultaneously the words of men and the Word of God.
2.God is simultaneously Trinity and unity, thus Christ is God and man simultaneously.
3.The universe is ordered with both unity and diversity, thus God is absolute sovereign and nothing happens by chance and man is absolutely responsible and is not a zero.
I believe that God does things he would not otherwise do, if I pray. Contrariwise, I believe that God stops things he would not otherwise stop based on my prayers. This does not rule out his foreknowledge in these actions, He still knows in advance what I am going to do and what He is going to do before it all happens.
On google we are ranked number 7 out of 22,000 web sites on open theists. We rank number 16 on the openness of God out of 21,300 sites as of July 16, 2008.
This doctrine has taught through the years that if a person is truly born again that they will not ultimately stray–and thus once they are saved, they are always saved. This was the only point in which Arminius agreed with Calvin. I believe this about 3 or 4 days a week on the other 2 or 3 I wrestle with passages like Hebrews 6.
I was pleased to see that we are now up there as number 13 for numbers of hits on the openness of God on the google search engine for the openness of God. We ranked number 37 for the term “open theist”. We ranked number 11 for the term “open theists”. Open theism was not quite as high ranked number 77 as of June 23, 2008.
It pleases me that Keller is putting out a book. His brain was legendary as a student at Gordon Conwell.
