Open Theism a God Who Takes Risks

When I began to write about God’s omniscience, (all-knowing) I came across something very odd to me, it was a group of Christians which practice a set of tenets called  Open Theism . The Open Theist does not believe in several things that would otherwise be called normal Christian doctrine, but the issue here is specifically their view on God’s omniscience.

The Big Bang theory, science agrees almost universally is that period when the universe came into existence. The Bi...
