304 Foreknowledge and Free Will 2 (Dale Tuggy Defending Open Theism)


Listen Later

Last week we began our Foreknowledge and Freewill series with Dr. Dale Tuggy who gave us an overview of the various positions.  He also commended Open Theism as a view that triumphs where others suffer from logical contradictions.  Now, today in part two, Tuggy will further explore and defend Open Theism against a number of common critiques including:

  • If God doesn’t know the future, how can there be prophecy?  Specifically, how could Jesus predict that Peter would deny him?
  • Why do evangelicals generally look down on Open Theism?
  • Isn’t Open Theism just Process Theology dressed up with some bible references?
  • Doesn’t open theism posit a small God with limited knowledge?
  • Additionally, we delve into how Open Theism deals with prayer, especially in light of Hezekiah’s prayer for healing.

    Now, I realize some of you listening are ardent Open Theists and some of you are not.  Keep in mind that next week we are going to hear from Dr. Leighton Flowers on the Ariminian view and then Dr. Sean Cole is going to lay out the case for Calvinist compatabilism.  My goal here is to expose you to multiple views so you can see all of the options laid out side by side.
