No. You have to hold all the statements Scripture makes about God without making one the enemy of the other. If you cannot systematize the Scripture without doing so, you must just hold onto the truths patiently until clarity is gained. Open Theism does great abuse to many texts of Scripture.

““Remember this and stand firm,

recall it to mind, you transgressors,

remember the former things of old;

for I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and there is none like me,

declaring the end from the beginning

and from ancient times things not yet done,

saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,

and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

calling a bird of prey from the east,

the man of my counsel from a far country.

I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;

I have purposed, and I will do it.”

I believe that Scripture harmonizes. What verse do you suppose is the enemy of the ones I've offered. It's a simple statement of fact. If you've systemized a God that cannot be patient that would be worth revisiting. Don't you think so?

Who is more long-suffering than God?

So you believe God is long suffering?

Why wouldn't I? Who endures more insults without immediately repaying?

We're in agreement about this brother.
