What About Compatibilism? – Ep. 156 – What About Evil? – The Transcendent Author Of History – Part 2

What About Compatibilism?
We delve into the topic of God's choosing and man's choosing as it relates to evil. If you've ever wondered, "What about compatibilism? What is it and is it true?" this episode will break down the concept for you.

First, we finish up the last two secondary characteristics that stem from God's transcendent nature. One is God taking action in His Providence. This just isn't in the miracles or the big events from history but also in the boring and mundane details. Also, we see God's unrestricted use of His power in His omnipotence. Then we look at the compatible nature of God as creator and man as creature. We see how important both God's nature and man's nature limits each in what is able to be chosen. Here highlights the vast difference between God and man but still a relationship and moral culpability.

We hope these breakdowns are beneficial to you and thank you for joining us as we cover topics like this to learn more and to honor and glorify the Lord of Lords.
