Discussion: Countering Open Theism
The book Four Views of Divine Providence, Chapter: God Limits His Control; (Heading) The Open Model of Providence, (Sub-heading) Love and Freedom; contributed by Gregory A. Boyd. There are three other contributors in this book and they each state their positions and defend them as necessary.
Boyd is a proclaimed opponent of Process Theology as well as an Open Theist. I am a conservative Reformed Presbyterian and as you might guess I am not a proponent of process nor openness theology. I believe they are simply heretical.
The excerpt is intriguing because of how Boyd describes love and the micro-chip creator. I am wrestling with the impersonal piece of being programmed with love or to love.
Questions:
1) How might I go about discerning the Providence of God and that the Open model or view with regards to love is unbiblical?
2) How might I apply this to my personal, practical, and ministry work?
