I will say that it was my experience that in Wesleyan circles the denial of Foreknowledge is common and taught...

I think you and I both know that it would be more correct to say that in Wesleyan circles there is a different understanding of foreknowledge. And you know that Wesley taught that "foreknowledge" was a concept for man's understanding.

God has always known everything that He knows now. He didn't know something before He knew something else.

Otherwise you're saying that God can learn. And isn't that the problem you have with Boyd?

To be honest, I can not read that so it makes sense to me..I must not understand what you are saying :>)

Corine I used to post on a Wesleyan forum ..many pastors and even a well known theologist posted on it. To a man they denied God's foreknowledge . My old Pastor refuted Gods foreknowledge as he said (and is true) that Foreknowledge = predestination .

I have two problems ..no three with Boyd

1) It changes the nature of God

2)it makes Gods actions fully dependent on the actions of men to make a plan or decision

3) And yes that he makes God a student at the feet of His creations..
