The Debate Is Coming! The Debate Is Coming!

Uh this may be a silly question but what is Molinism?

[Sheepdog]

Oh really? I used to go to MSU. How long you been there? Are you a member of the graduate chapter of InterVarsity?

too long. i'm graduating this May, unless i do something really stupid. i'm actually with CCC though.

it's the worship of moles. incidently, they also believe that God knows not just what will happen in the future, but what would happen if circumstances were different. it is described by William Lane Craig, a molinist, as a cool way to reconcile human free will with God's sovereignty over everything that happens, since God can ordain something to occur by manipulating the circumstances to bring about a desired free will choice (well, i don't think he actually used to word "cool," but he would have if the circumstances were right )

[Dee Dee Warren]

90 percent right. However the overemphasis on Pavlovian psychology is a common misunderstanding of molinism

[Sheepdog]

Pavlovian what? is that the view that molinists have a psychological affinity for moles?

:clown:

It's been a year and a half since I was there. Did you go to the URC? I might have known you then. I'm guessing you weren't part of the GEU movement. What was CCC?

i used to go to URC, but now i attend Trinity. CCC refers to Campus Crusade for Christ, the ministry that resulted in my coming to Christ a few years ago. i'm still loyal to them, it seems

Thanks SheepDog, now I'm going to have to find books that have to do with molinism.

[Xmansmommy]

[RumTumTugger]

Linda Last time I went to one of the special chats. (The OV question and answer session) my computer kept crashing too many people were on max I figure for me and PalTalk is 20. if you plan to have more then that I'll have to bow out as I won't have my yet.

[Xmansmommy]

[RumTumTugger]

if you find one by William Lane Craig, go for it... while i don't agree totally with molinism, he is probably one of the best representatives of the view.

heck, he might have some articles online.

Well, of course. After all, "Molinism" means "correct theology."

Molinism is latin for "to be chicken".

It refers to people who wish they could be Open View, but think it would threaten their friendships with Calvinists.

To be Chicken... More like "have your cake and eat it too..."
