The critical error made in that statement is that God's actions in time are determined by the actions willed by the creature; in other words, in this view only certain things were preordained in eternity; the rest of history is done in time and space and all dependent upon the decisions made by men.

Secondly, this view is at variance with the biblical and traditional Calvinist view concerning "foreknowledge". God's foreknowledge is dependent upon and the result of foreordination; i.e., God's eternal decree. God "foreknows" simply because He has determined all things in eternity.

There is much more wrong with his view but those two things I think are most critical.
