Providence and PredestinationAnswered

Has God Written How We Die?

TL;DR

Robert Sungenis holds that God infallibly knows every future event, including every prophecy, without causing sin, and that Open Theism, which denies God knows the future, is false. He argues foreknowledge coexists with human free will, citing David at Keilah in 1 Samuel 23 as showing God knows counterfactuals: possible futures that never occur.

Has God Written How We Die?

Answer

God infallibly knows every future event and prophecy yet does not cause sin. Open Theism, which claims God does not know the future, is false. God’s foreknowledge coexists with human free will. Prophecy and predestination show He knows all events, even to the level of every atom, without forcing human choices. Example: 1 Samuel 23 (David at Keilah) shows God knows counterfactuals: possible futures that never occur.
