Open Theism and Greek Philosophy

I've long considered the accusation of open theists that the traditional Christian view of God as immutable with exhaustive foreknowledge comes from the Greek philosophers rather than scripture to be pretty much pure poppycock. Read the Greek philosophers and see if you find anything much like your God there!

Parableman goes a little farther. He says it's the other way around:
What didn't occur to me until just now is that the open theists' picture of God really does bear a striking resemblance to some things the Greek philosophers said.
Go read and see if you think he's on to something.
