I must say that I believe so. I read passages like Isaiah 46:9-11 and I believe it.

However, in preaching and teaching to a local church congregation, I was caught off guard that some God-fearing, Jesus-loving, Sunday night church-going people don’t agree with my summation. Without knowing, I am apparently pastoring a sub-group of “Open Theists.” They hold to inerrancy and inspiration, and they believe Jesus is the only way. We just differ on the whether or not God knows the future. So I feel as a Pastor I must make a study of the doctrine of Divine Foreknowledge. Am I right? Are they right?

I would love to hear from other Pastors who have dealt with this, or if you have some good resources on this topic. I will document my studies in hopes of helping others to understand their own beliefs and be able to articulate and defend them.

May God bless this study.
