Free Will & God’s Foreknowledge – Ep. 148 – What About Evil? – Guarding The Sacred Treasure Of Free Will – Part 3

Free Will & God's Foreknowledge
The concept of free will & God's foreknowledge can be a heady concept. We attempt to accurately cover three different answers free will advocates attempt to allow God to have foreknowledge (or not have it). We do our best to break it down while attempting to be accurate to supporters and the issues seen with the concepts.

Covering concepts of Arminian simple foreknowledge, open theism, and Molinism & middle knowledge as some of the big attempts to save human freedom; there are still issues with allowing God to be the God revealed in Scripture.

The sci-fi reference this week is Quantum Leap! Oh, boy.
