Aaron showing his true colors.
In a recent debate between a Protestant and Latter-day Saint, Aaron Shafovaloff made the following comment:
This only shows Aaron does not read the Bible and/or is intentionally deceptive (my vote is both). Only two verses previously in Isa 40:12, we read:
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Isaiah is teaching that God learns the amount of water on the earth by measuring it. Interestingly enough, the measure of water on the surface of the earth fluctuates, so it continuously needs to be measured by Yahweh, further supporting the Open Theistic understanding of God and His knowledge, unless on will argue that God counts/measures things (actions which take place in time, not an "eternal now")
Such discursive knowledge is seen in 1 Kgs 22:19-23 where we read of Yahweh seeking advice from his heavenly council:
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
