Hi Bill, welcome! Long time no see. For those just visiting, I would like to acknowledge Bill as one who participated with me in the ex-Jehovah’s Witness support group. It was 16 years for me leading the group and was an essential part of growing me strong in apologetics. As far as what kind of label I am…I hate these labels, because frankly I don’t study subjects like covenantalist and dispensationalist or redemptive history. If I had to define these terms, I would probably fail the test. My favourite thing to do is just read the Bible. I love just plain old Bible study and I can go from verse to verse for hours. Then I can spend hours looking at the Hebrew and Greek words and the grammar and comparing the context. I do look at other books, but more or less when I am researching on a topic. My major aim in life is to be a Biblicist. I want the Bible to lead me and force me into truth. The issue of Open Theism seems to be against the full Sovereignty of God, at least the way I understand it. I read the other day where a Calvinist was explaining how God knows the future and he said that God looks down the corridor of time to see the future. I don’t get that. Why would God need to look down anything to learn something He doesn’t know? I believe that God not only knows all things, but He also knows all things that don’t happen, but things that could happen. The only way that I know this, is because the Bible gives an example with David and Saul.
