A Leading Theological Arminian says “Nay” to Open Theism. He actually calls it “Heresy”.
The first to publicly label open theism as “heresy” was a prominent Wesleyan-Arminian theologian and member of the Wesleyan Theological Society, Thomas Oden of Drew University in New Jersey. In a widely-discussed 1998 article in Christianity Today, Oden wrote, “The fantasy that God is ignorant of the future is a heresy that must be rejected on scriptural grounds,” and he cited supporting verses from Isaiah through Ephesians. Oden continued that the matter of God’s knowledge in time was discussed as early as Origen’s Against Celsus and largely settled by early church fathers. He could not be reached for comment.
