The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdoms of men (Dan 4:17)
If God has a current view of history, is anything done from the side of spirit to influence human affairs? I think concepts of divine revelation, divine action, and providence can make or break a theology.
This is a recent post at my new blog, where I am trying to clean up and trim down the old posts a bit, to concentrate on developing theological themes of revelation, prayer, providence, divine action, Incarnation, history and apocalypse. My apologies to wordpress subscribers, who will be seeing this one a second time. I don't know if my split venue will be able to work in the long run, but for the time being I'm favoring the new blog and running copies on this one.
God is such an Arminian. Those that vainly imagine a God free from God are surely not Arminian. Sure anyone can claim the mind of God. Especially the Calvinist whom falls from grace as he and his denominations show. Still Pelagius is not one of us. That leaves you Emergents…to pretend. Lord how could we foraske you, if you had guided us/them to our/their demise?
