Even as one who holds to the Biblical Reformed doctrines of grace it is still surprising how fast and how far this apostasy within evangelicalism is spreading. Open theist Greg Boyd is not only gaining increasing popularity within the new evangelical community but even in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church. This is evidenced by Rob Bell recently asking Boyd to come speak at his Mars Hill Bible Church of the topic of the Christus Victor theory of the atonement.

Apprising Ministries believes that truly those who are apostatizing have no shame because not only are they attacking of God's absolute sovereignty in man's salvation but they are even more boldly attacking the omniscience of the LORD God Almighty Creator of Heaven and earth. In this excellent and thoroughly Biblical article solidly refuting Boyd’s heretical dream of open theism my friend Bob DeWaay writes:

In this article I shall respond to a recent challenge issued in the book God of the Possible by Gregory A. Boyd. He writes: “What is particularly sad about the current state of this debate is that Scripture seems to be playing a small role in it. Most published criticisms raised against the open view have largely ignored the biblical grounds on which open theists base their position.”

If it is so that published criticisms do not interact with the specific Scriptures put forth to support the “open” position, then I shall make a contribution toward rectifying this. In this essay I will interact with several of Dr. Boyd’s key proof texts, though space does not permit dealing with all of them. I shall show that the passages cited, if taken in their Biblical context, do not prove Dr. Boyd’s assertion that God lacks knowledge of some of the future.
