New Theology Mill

Hello Bill,
I am definately not at this point changing schools. Where I am at is adequate for me right now and I am too far financially and academically into the program. Sorry if I scared you! I was just curious since Golden State is only three hours from here in my home town Stockton Calif. I do wish I had known about this forum before getting started. Thanks for your comment!

Hi Ralph

Good "luck" where you are. Still "slaying the Arminians?"

 

=============================================

Thanks North.

I know you are exmilitary. Matt is getting a stipend from the VA for 100% disability. But the other son is easier to live with:he only is alcoholic undergoing counseling for uncontrollable temper. I'm very thankful for His help in this situation.

 

Hello Bill,
Actually, I would be classified as an Arminian on most issues, although I do not hold to inherited depravity. I haven't been debating LLoyd on the forum since my time is short to get my courses finished. Remember him? How is your SA work coming along? Any chance I could read it sometime? I'm sure it is excellent. Christology is extremely important. Please do stay in touch.
Ralph

 

apology

I am sorry Ralph. Without thinking I did connect you with Lloyd! Hmmmmm?? Divine providence or inherited depravity caused this mistake? Oh well, in either case I guess I'm excused?

Finished dissertation proposal which concerns the Son's functional subordination as to whether a synthesis of that relation into nine cognate doctrines will indicate whether it is immanent to God and eternal or is economic to the creative and soterial acts and therefore temporal. Doing reading now in process theology and open theism in anticipation for chaps 2 and 3 (of 10) which concern the issues of whether God is Being or becoming and whether His attributes are infinite or finite.

As I soaked in a hot tub the other night I asked whether I was doing the smart thing! My guess is that each my 10 chapters will take 300 hours to do: so 10x300=3000 hours. (not counting details as internet copying, driving to the typist etc). But, I'll not expecting any $$$ as an effect. In fact, were I to work those 3000 hours at $25 an hour I could make (let's see 25x3000) $75000!!!...I could buy garage fulls of old muscle cars..My wife and I could tour Europe..I could buy 12 years of medical insurance

So, am I being smart? Nope, just another one of God's idiots!! Keep up the good work, Ralph.
