  • Mr. Paul, how is God omniscient if He chooses not to know? It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around that God knew I’d be saved, and how He know one would be lost before He ever created or made us, but we do have free will, and it’s hard to explain to an atheist why God would have one be born when He already knew he would be condemned. This leads to people asking why’d He allow someone like Hitler be born?

    I don't think God chooses not to know anything that He can know. I don't think God knows who will choose Him before they are born. I think Open Theism offers a more coherent description of God than other popular theories that assume God has known all the future from eternity past. I don't think the future exists yet to be known with certainty. Keep an open mind and don't accept everything others tell is Bible truth.

    Thank you for your response. How can I know whether someone is believing a heretical view of something? Open theism is labeled as heretical by a lot of people, because they believe its saying God cannot know everything, so they believe that view makes Him non omniscient.
    Happy birthday! Have a great day.

    Thanks, Sidney. Where do you live? I was born in and am presently living in New Zealand, but will be joining my wife back in India at the end of the month for five months.
    Welcome to CC, brother Paul!
