Agnoetism

/ˌæɡnoʊˈiːtɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The theological doctrine or belief system of the Agnoetae, asserting that God lacks knowledge of future events.

Etymology

From Greek 'a-' (not) + 'gnosis' (knowledge) combined with '-ism' (system of belief). A formalized term for the theological position of this heretical sect.

Kelly Says

Agnoetism represents one of history's boldest theological challenges—if God doesn't know the future, how can He be omniscient?—a paradox that theologians have debated for 1,500 years!
