Is Open Theism a heresy then?

Do you know what it is?

Have you not read that God determines the beginning from the end?

That He is the ancient of days?

That He is eternal and with Him there is no future as He is eternal and lives in an ever present now?

What about when He specifically names Cyrus as the deliverer of His people in Babylonian bondage?

Or that He decreed the Cross in Eternity past?

There are many more

I am not sure if it is technically a heresy. They redefine "omniscience" to mean "knowing everything that can be known". I consider it to be a heresy, but am not sure that it actually falls outside of orthodox Christianity.

Open theism says everything is not predestined. Those that believe unbiblically that God knows everything imaginable, claim the biblical view is heresy. But they have never studied the topic. When asked why scripture says things happen by chance, they change the subject.

Genesis 22:12, . . . And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, . . .

Who appeared to Abraham?
The finite Son or the infinite Father?
John 1:18, No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
