Episode 166: Responding To Open Theism - With Kirk MacGregor
Description
In this episode, Mr. Minton has Dr. Kirk MacGregor on the podcast to talk about a view known as Open Theism, and what the biblical and philosophical issues with such a view are. Primarily they will be responding to arguments for Open Theism such as the argument that if humans have libertarian free will, God cannot foreknow our libertarianly free choices, as well as certain biblical proof texts Open Theists have marshaled in favor of their view. However, a positive case for God having foreknowledge of future contingent events is also made in this episode.
