Open Theism is silly

We are told Jesus "knows all things" and that God "dwells in eternity."

We see definite things in the future that God knows.


But here's the rub—some of those things are future free will choices, Cyrus rebuilding the temple, Judas betraying Jesus, Peter's denial and return.

Now if an "Openness" theologian wants to argue that the future literally doesn't exist in any sense whatsoever, and that people can have a free will that is not manipulated or forced by God or circumstances, then logically, there is absolutely no way any amount of calculating and information can allow God knowledge of future free will choices.


It's a non-started, it's dead in the water.

So we should not make God in our own image and lessen him to a thing that makes us feel better about his actions.
 
Addressing the OP.
Isaiah 46:9 "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me," (WHY?) Isaiah 46:10 "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"

101G.
