This is by far the best, most practical explanation of Open Theism. I don't see how anyone could watch this with an open mind and not get it. It's just common sense
While I totally subscribe to Open Theism does Greg not contradict himself here??
If God knows all the possibilities and plans for all of them as if they're the only one, how can God regret his choice?? he knew it was a possibility right?
I guess you could say God hopes it to go one way and regrets it when it doesn't? I don't know
Open Theism is beginning to make more sense to me. The chess game illustration used to seem to me to make it possible that God could lose. The concept that God can know everything you could do as if you had to do it is overwhelming, but again, God is infintie, we are finite. Glory be to Him.
Point 4 on God's infinite intelligence is brilliant and completely undermines the Calvinist view.

Simply fabulous, Greg is a Christian scholar ... one of my heroes!
Somehow I learned to dance with God after coming to know and studying the Open View. Thanks for posting this series of lectures.
