| Anyone ever thought of making a general open theism answers site? Ya know, with links and articles giving answers to common anti open theist questions? I'd like to offer any assistance in creating such a site (aside from hosting... I'll consider it, but I'm already hosting two of my own sites).
Here's an article I've made defending open theism (as it states in the article, this does not come from a true open theist)
Also, an answer to a common question I've come across:
Q. If God is limited by man's chioces, can He really answer my prayers?
A. This is an example of a profound miss-understanding of the openthiest view.
God is NOT limited by man's choices. Open Thiest hold that God does not choose to control man's chioces, however possible for Him that may be. However, if God decides something will happen, men can "choose" all they want to try to stop Him, they just won't succeed. Likewise, if God means to stop something, again, men can choose to oppose Him, but in the end they won't succeed.
Open Theism does not suppose man has any power over God, it assumes God doesn't act as man's puppet master. A man's desires and actions are generally his own reasponsibility, but God can indeed thwart the will of man.
Anyone else willing to contribute something?
