Why Rejecting Calvinism Paves The Way For Open Theism

Sadly, many find themselves leaving Christian orthodox teaching and into damnable heresies when they seek to actively reject the tenets of Calvinism. One of those logical outworkings of this is Open Theism. Don't fall into it!

The moment you don't agree with total depravity (Romans 3:9-20, Jeremiah 17:9, Ephesians 2:1-3, 1 John 3:4, etc.), it opens the door wide for all types of heretical thinking. Think about it, if you don't think sinful man is enslaved to his will (John 8:34), then you will naturally think he can do good or make good choices. Once you go there, you now have to take Bible verses that talks about God's sovereignty, omnipotence, omniscience, and even self-sufficiency to now lower God's attributes (by redefining those verses) and raise man's abilities so they're on a equal playing field. To do so leads to universalism, open theism, molinism, and on and on.

Right, Open Theism is terrible. The good news is you don’t have to fall into heresy when you’re leaving heretical Calvinism!

Rejecting Calvinism does not logically lead to open theism.

I think Calvinists need to study some philosophy, as I have found them to be unaware of the philosophical implications of their beliefs.

It seems to me that you could only come to this position if you have a severe lack of creativity. It's possible for God to foreknow something he hasn't predetermined. God isn't fixed in time like we are. He doesn't have to look ahead. He doesn't have to calculate or predict.
You don't need to continue bringing back the canard of "looking through the corridors of time". Only Calvinists use that phrase, and only in polemics against non-Calvinists. It simply isn't what anyone believes.
You should do more research on this stuff. 99% of non-Calvinists are not open-theists, and that's obvious proof that it isn't as serious a danger as you suppose.
