I have a question for you? Do you still believe that anyone who didn't take the COVID 19 vaccine is ignorant?

Sorry if I offended you. I had to take the vaccine to work in my hospital. Just like I am required to take the Flu vaccine every year. Covid vaccines aren't required anymore.

That’s not what you told us. When you said people who didn’t take the vaccine were ignorant. Nothing about requirements due to employment in a “hospital.”
Also, I wasn’t offended, I’m amused.

Then words have no meaning?
I don't accept nominative labels beyond "Christian" or "disciple" or some other Biblical term. What is often called "Open Theism" means different things to different people. I know this: the Scriptures I posted are true and correct, and they do not match the classical (Aristotelian/Platonic/Catholic/Protestant) view of "God" as "unmoved mover" and as "Impassible".

A 'follower of Christ' suffices for anyone to call themselves a Christian. My question was aimed more at your response to the OP question "Can God learn?" Many Christians would balk at the idea that an omniscient God can learn. The verses you chose give the impression that there are things that God
doesn't know. How do you explain this apparent contradiction?
A related question, Does God knows our thoughts?

I don't have a problem with Open Theism. Classical Theism, on the other hand, is problematic .

What contradiction? The contradiction between the Bible and what "many Christians" believe? I would explain that by saying the Bible is right, and they are wrong.

Genesis 6:5 KJV
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Psalm 139:1-2 KJV
O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. [2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Psalm 44:21 KJV
Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
