Election vs. Free Will — How Molinism Fails to Solve the Debate
Greg Koukl shares his thoughts on Molinism, a theological view that attempts to reconcile God's sovereignty with human free will by introducing the concept of middle knowledge—what God knows about what free creatures would do in any given situation. William Lane Craig and others argue that God elects a world in which the most people would freely choose him, rather than electing individuals directly. Greg critiques this view, pointing out that Scripture presents election as concerning individuals. Molinism fails to solve the theological tension it seeks to address. #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #Theology #Philosophy ————— CONNECT ————— Website: https://www.str.org/ Stand to Reason University: https://training.str.org/ Stand to Reason Apps: https://www.str.org/apps Twitter: / strtweets Facebook: / standtoreason93 Instagram: / standtoreason LinkedIn: / stand-to-reason Have a question or comment?
