God does not hope!

I saw someone on here who actually said God is hoping. Yes that's right. Open Theism at it's finest.

Wow, no wonder many professing Christians on here insult others in the politics section, no wonder a professing Christian man on here regularly makes NSFW posts if that's the kind of God they worship! (He even got challenged on his profession by a pagan 😆).

"God is hoping" is an absolutely absurd statement from the point of view of both the Calvinist and Armenian camps. That language is pure open theism. Let's call a spade a spade.

Calvinist- Need I even bother?

Armenian- Yes God has given us free will but he sees eternity past, the past, the present, the future and eternity future and though Christ (God The Son) died for everyone, God knows who will come to him.

I agree that ""God hoping"" is a very false dotrine.. It basically denies the all knowing ability of God..

But i am not sure how you go calvanisim and Armenianism mixed up with that doctrine..

I have never heard a calvanist or an armenian promote such a doctrine..

And yeah i agree with the Armenian statement you have posted::

Armenian- Yes God has given us free will but he sees eternity past, the past, the present, the future and eternity future and though Christ (God The Son) died for everyone, God knows who will come to him.

This above statement excludes the possability of God hoping for a persons salvation.. He foreknows everyone who is going to be accept His way of salvation..

I didn't. I said that neither believe this.

@Adstar Not quite, the way I phrased it could easily have been confusing, thanks to your pointing out, I have modified it.
