There's a reason the Word did not make certain phrases.

This view owes more to Plato and Aristotle than Scripture, imo.
I lean more toward the open theism view of God's knowledge as opposed to the classical greek view which the early church adopted. The open view explains prayer, free will, God changing his mnd, etc better than the classical, blueprint view. Imo, if fits the scriptures better...not perfectly, but better.

Not a fan of Sproul's teachings because I thoroughly dislike Calvinism. One of my favorite blog's belongs to Roger Olson, an Arminian.

Jesus is God incarnate. (Don't let the fancy wording fool you. That just means God became a human being named Jesus.) Jesus died. God incarnate died. God died.
That's logic. You don't like it for some reason.

I essentially agree. But you miss the deal of baggage. the concept is not an issue of logic, but one thing leads to another and now you have Catholics who Mary mothered God, and therefore Mary must have been sinless and did not need the cross, and the next thing you know people are talking to Mary during prayer more than to The Lord. And that's just ONE avenue.

I know right? Logic ruins everything!

Can't follow context, can you.
