Open Theology is finding fertile soil in believers steeped in Arminian concepts. I think the argument that foreknowledge = foresight leads to the position of Pinnock, Boyd et al. that God's foresight is limited because man is truly free.

BTW Boyd's denomination brought the statement "that He foreknows infallibly all that shall come to pass" to a vote.

It was voted down 275 to 251 (52% to 48%)-- June 1999.

Boyd and his fellow open theists then posit a God who fulfills prophecy by being shrewd enough to checkmate free choices by anticipating options and contingency planning. Wild stuff. Might be an intersting thread: Does Arminianism lead to Open Theism?

I recently completed a class on creation at a local Bible college..Interesting the teacher when speaking of the awesome power of God said something to the effect

Think of this..God knows every possible choice of every person and He has alternative plans for every one of them..

Ya know Steve man will go to no end to rob God of His power and authority.. You have to wonder how the prophesies ever got written:>)

LOL!

Theology by "focus group" polling! God sits in the heavens and laughs as well.
