    Nah -- you're only looking at half of the equation for "open theism" (and in a very self-serving and Calvinist-serving manner so that you have [some (edit)] to call it "heresy" and have someone who disagrees with you booted off BB.).

    The theism is really the "openess view of creation" because God has allowed man/creation to choose freely from among many options and then guage how He controls our lives based on our choices. Apparenty those who object believe that we have no choices and live under a "fatalist," no choice, system.

    First, the real issue has nothing to do with God's omniscience and control but whether or not God chooses to allow some things to be decided by man. Does He? Ex: Does He allow you to wear the blue socks instead of the black? God still decides/controls whether you will get noticed and whether, if you are noticed, whether you will get fired or rewarded by your boss at work! :laugh:

    For the record, I am probably more a Molinist, BTW.

    I couldn't find it unless you're talking about the full length DVD for sale. Is there a web site with the key points? I should say that I believe that God created the universe. That's not an issue.
