There are numerous examples in Scripture of God changing His mind.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think I am going to stay in the Adventist church, even though Ellen White, who is believed to be a messenger of God, was definitely not an open theist. She wrote that God knows the future ahead of time. Richard Rice, on the other hand, is one of the main promoters of open theism today, and he's a professor at Loma Linda University.

not according to the Fathers. the Bible also says that God doesn’t change. so when God appears to change His mind, it’s really either us who are changing or Him showing something about the saint He is talking to. again, parents do this with their kids all the time.

You should go by the faith delivered to the Apostles, not just on one guy because he believes what you want.I think I am going to stay in the Adventist church, even though Ellen White, who is believed to be a messenger of God, was definitely not an open theist.

The full paper can be found <here>.
There is nothing here to indicate that Bulgakov is an Open Theist. Far from it. That God, "limits his knowledge of the future in order to enable genuinely free human choices," is not Open Theism. Bulgakov is trying to avoid predetermination, and this is a common Orthodox move.

Foreknowledge is not predetermination. Knowing that something will occur is not the cause of that thing occurring.

who says we avoid predermination? we reject what certain folks conclude about predetermination, but that doesn’t mean we avoid it (ie we affirm predermination when it comes to the Incarnation).

correct, plus events and acts of God in creation are predetermined.
