These questions pretty clearly show that God knows the future:
> For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
>
> [Jeremiah 29:11, ESV](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+29%3A11&version=ESV)
> When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
>
> [John 16:13, ESV](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+16%3A13&version=ESV)
Open theism "is the Christian doctrine that the future is not settled but open because God is alive, eternally free, and inexhaustibly creative."
So how do open theists respond to these verses?
