An argument of Craig's that stands out to me is that there are true future contingent propositions, some things that WILL happen in the future, and that God knows they will happen. In the transcript of the Reasonable Faith podcast episode I linked to above Craig states: "There's no argument given as to why there cannot be future contingently true and false propositions." It is often said "God knows the end from the beginning," and Scripture and history bear that out. How does Open Theism deal with that?
I'll look for the episode of Unbelievable?, a great podcast, by the way. I may have heard it before, but I thought it had more to do with Calvinism. Incidentally, I've been privileged to meet both Drs. Craig and White.
I'll continue to try to expand my understanding of Open Theism, especially since I don't know how it got started, and why. It seems to me that it may have tried to solve problems with Calvinist doctrines, but I think they were already adequately solved with Molinism.
While I do think these issues seriously impact our view of God, I don't think disagreement on them means we both worship different a God! I'm inclined to believe this is one of those non-essential issues we should give each other liberty in.
