There are numerous examples in Scripture of God changing His mind.the same reason parents say the same thing to their kids when they test them.
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.There are numerous examples in Scripture of God changing His mind.
prayers for you on your journey!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.

The full paper can be found <here>.The actual points made by Bulgakov are worth discussing:
If I'm not mistaken, Bulgakov is saying that God's experience of eternity, of never-beginning and never-ending, rather than being apart from time, is the very foundation of time. What he's also saying is that it would negate free will if God were capable of exactly predicting the future, rather than simply being aware of all the possible choices that free willed beings might make in any given situation.
sorry, what is a common Orthodox move?this is a common Orthodox move.
Foreknowledge is not predetermination. Knowing that something will occur is not the cause of that thing occurring.Avoiding predetermination.
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).Avoiding predetermination.
correct, plus events and acts of God in creation are predetermined.Foreknowledge is not predetermination. Knowing that something will occur is not the cause of that thing occurring.
According to the article posted, the only reason Bulgakov avoids foreknowledge is because he thinks it leads to predetermination.Foreknowledge is not predetermination. Knowing that something will occur is not the cause of that thing occurring.
