Theological movement de-emphasizing God's meticulous control of all things

Send us Fan MailOpen theism is a controversial but growing position in philosophical theology. Open theism refers to a broad tradition, but it is an approach to the question about the relationship between God's foreknowledge, human free will, and God's providence. We are privileged to be joined by Dr. John Sanders, one of the leading voices in this debate, to introduce this topic. Check this out for what it is, why it is controversial, some reasons to be an open theist, and what to read to learn more!Support the show--------------------------If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon:www.patreon.com/christianityforallWhere else to find Josh Yen:Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforallEducation: https://bit.ly/joshyenBuisness: https://bit.ly/logoseduMy Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/

When you read in God's Word that He knows your actions before you know you will do them, does it make you feel a bit like a robot? Like, your decisions aren't really your own? Well, Pastor Jeff wants to calm that fear today. See, God's knowledge of your present, your past, and your future doesn't rob you of your free will! It just means that God knows exactly what you will do with the free will you have been given. The Father can read your life like a book, and He read the ending before you were even born.
If you went to a mechanic in your town and realized they didn't know how to do a simple repair to your car, would you still go back to that mechanic the next time you needed work done? Would you shop at a grocery store where they put fresh produce in the dairy section? Well, Pastor Jeff is here to tell you today that if God truly cannot see the future, then He isn't truly God! The pitfall of open theism is that it denies God's knowledge of the future, and it reduces Him to a powerful but clueless figure.

Lately I have seen some apologists online run arguments against open theism's view of omniscience. Unfortunately, these arguments rest on a faulty understanding of the open future. So in today's episode I clear the record about open theism, omniscience, and the open future.CreditsHost: R.T. Mullins (PhD, University of St Andrews; Dr. Habil.

Andrew Wilson claims that Psalm 139 poses and "enormous challenge" for open theists, as it claims that God knows all the days formed for me, even days that are still to come. Dan shows why this argument poses little challenge at all to open theists.

GOD: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher - The Podcast, S1
Questions? Comments? Text Us!Welcome to What's Your Spiritual Story: a new series from God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, featuring candid conversations with people whose spiritual lives have been reshaped by direct encounters with the divine. In this first installment, Jerry L. Martin speaks with pastor and podcaster Mark Groleau, who returns to the show exactly 100 episodes after his original appearance.Mark's story is one of radical transformation. Raised in a strict Oneness Pentecostal tradition, he was trained to preach, taught to defend doctrine, and discouraged from asking questions. But once he began studying literature and scripture through a critical lens, everything changed. What followed was a deconstruction of his inherited faith, a period of atheism, and an eventual reawakening through a more expansive vision of God.This episode follows Mark's evolving relationship with the divine, from the static, all-powerful deity of classical theism to a God who suffers, listens, and grows. Influenced by thinkers like John Caputo, Jacques Derrida, Greg Boyd, and Terence Fretheim, Mark now embraces process theology, which sees God not as removed from the world but as intimately involved in its unfolding.Jerry and Mark reflect on what it means to believe in a God who changes. They discuss suffering, divine vulnerability, and the tension between doctrine and experience. Mark also shares why Jesus' teachings have become central to his life, and why many Christians, ironically, ignore them. From Hebrew grammar to the Big Bang, from seminary classrooms to Buddhist temples in Korea, this is a conversation for anyone rethinking their faith and seeking something more relational, honest, and alive.If you've ever wrestled with the question of who, or what, God really is, this conversation offers a starting point for something deeper.Mentioned in this episode: Creation Untamed by Terence Fretheim, Not Sure by John Suk, #JesusIsMyGuru, Process Theology, Open Theism, Wikigod Podcast, Bereshit, PatripassianismOther Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:Life Wisdom Project: How to live a wiser, happier, and more meaningful life with special guests.From God To Jerry To You: Calling for the attention of spiritual seekers everywhere, featuring breakthroughs, pathways, and illuminations.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God: Sit in on a dialogue between philosophers about God and the questions we all have.What's On Our Mind- Connect the dots with Jerry and Scott over the most recent series of episodes.What's On Your Mind: What are readers and listeners saying?

LEGACY BROADCAST * The Future is Open: Dr. Richard Rice, Loma Linda theology professor and a leading advocate of open theism, is interviewed by Denver Bible Church pastor Bob Enyart. (Enyart is the co-founder of opentheism.org.) Dr. Rice's book, The Openness of God, was published in 1980, 14 years before he co-authored the famed 1994 book by the same name that he co-authored with Pinnock, Hasker, Basinger, and Sanders. Rice and Enyart have a relaxed and very interesting discussion of open theism and recent developments, and then go back in history to consider the way that Arminius himself wrestled with the matter. * Book Blurb: Open theism has reached its adolescence. How did it get here? And where does it go from here? Since IVP's publication of The Openness of God in 1994, evangelical theology has grappled with the alternative vision of the doctrine of God that open theism offers. Responding to critics who claim that it proposes a truncated version of God that fails to account for Scripture and denies many of the traditional attributes of God, open theism's proponents contend that its view of God is not only biblically warranted but also more accurate―with a portrayal of God that emphasizes divine love for humanity and responsiveness to human free will. No matter what one's assessment, open theism inarguably has made a significant impact on recent theological discourse. Check out the YouTube Video Here! * Richard Rice: Now, twenty-five years later, Richard Rice recounts in this volume the history of open theism from its antecedents and early developments to its more recent and varied expressions. He then considers different directions that open theism might continue to develop in relation to several primary doctrines of the Christian faith.

Today's Resource: Predestination & Free Will Seminar So much is at stake when people consider predestination and free will. Strong emotions often surface with a discussion of this topic. That passion points to our critical need to understand the truth regarding whether or not God has predetermined who will go to heaven and who will go to hell. Also, the question of whether or not God has planned out each person's life affects us. Does God have a plan for your life? Does a blueprint exist for your future? Did God predetermine whether or not you would get married, and to whom? Did God plan whether you would be wealthy or poor, happy or sad? If God does plan your life, does He do so in minute detail or in general themes? If God has a plan for your life, are you able to alter that plan? This topic directly influences people concerning how they live their lives. As Christians, we must seek God to accurately portray the LORD to others. For any misrepresentation of God will dishonor Him and perhaps bring harm to those misled. You can now order the seminar video in a 3-DVD set or MP4 video download.

[Part 1 of this two-parter: God, People, Prayer, Mystery: People Need to Pray More]Most Christians believe God is all-loving and all-powerful, but if this is the case, why does evil exist and how does prayer fit into the equation? Part two continues the conversation with author and theologian, Thomas J. Oord, explaining a specific belief in God termed "Open Theism." Open Theists suppose that not only is God limited in power, but for God to make people with true freewill, the future isn't knowable even to Him. While most Christians lend no credence to this theological framework, it's yet another way in which many Christians have attempted to reconcile human suffering with the existence of "an all-loving God." These questions have been baffling the deepest of thinkers for thousands of years. It's Jack Hoey, Joey Svendsen and Chip Judd with Thomas J. Oord, taking a deep dive into the existence of God and evil.Thomas J.

From 2016: John E Sanders is one among a number of evangelical theologians such as Greg Boyd who have embraced Open Theism – the view that God does not necessarily have foreknowledge of all future events and that the future is open. Many evangelicals believe Open Theism is a heresy – denying the omniscience of God and going against Biblical teaching. James White of Alpha and Omega ministries believes Open Theism is a serious heresy and defends a Calvinist view of God's sovereignty – that God has predestined all future events for his glory. They debate the issues.
