Ben Witherington and the opposite of predestination

I quite admire this blogger Ben Witherington. He makes some neat arguments in his discussion of the Opposite of Predestination.

One of the more interesting sayings of Jesus with equally interesting theological implications is found in Mt. 18.18--' I tell you whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.'

And

Human history is not merely a preordained play, played out perfectly to a pre-ordained script. On the contrary while there is a blue-print, or a general script, God has allowed, indeed invited us to make the drama like a night at the Improv, improvising our roles as we go, and making viable choices of moment and consequence along the way.

Good things to think about.
