“We could talk about the new perspective on Paul which assaults the New Testament understanding of the doctrine of justification. We could talk about the openness of God which attacks the very nature of God. Perhaps I should say a word about that. Open theism is a new liberal agenda item that starts with the denial that God perfectly knows or controls the future. Open theism is the idea that God is open to the future. He has no idea what the future holds. He has no clue. He’s just like you and I. He’s trying to react to what is going on and He has no more foreknowledge of anything than you or I do because it hasn’t happened, therefore He can’t know about it. He doesn’t know what’s going to happen until people make choices. He doesn’t know what the choices will be and He’s responding like a very, very adept chess player doing His best to accomplish His will in counter response to the moves of all of us. This is a very, very popular, wide-spread, developing viewpoint. It has intruded into evangelical...quote: “evangelical theological society” which up to now has been unwilling to dismiss people who hold that view. It attacks the very nature of God Himself. It attacks the deity of God. God is not the God He claims to be. He does not speak truly of Himself when He says He knows the end from the beginning therefore God is a liar and it is rehearsal of exactly what we saw in the garden. Every assault by these critics that denies any portion of Scripture is a battle that has to be fought and a point at which we have to defend the authority of Scripture.” - John MacArthur (“Assorted Attacks on the Bible” http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/90-320.htm)
