Ep 339Tim Stratton vs James White: Is Molinism Biblical?
<p>On Feb 11th 2022, Dr James White and Dr Tim Stratton debated the question "Is Molinism Biblical?", at the First Lutheran Church in Houston.

Dr James White maintains that such a view is unbiblical, while Dr Stratton sees it not only as biblical, but as crucially superior to the alternative: "Exhaustive Divine Determinism"!</p> <p>We've covered the subject of Molinism on Unbelievable? before, so if you want to learn more about this theological hot potato, check out these shows: • William Lane Craig vs Paul Helm: Calvinism vs Molinism - 2014: <a href='https://bit.ly/3o550G0'>https://bit.ly/3o550G0</a> • William Lane Craig vs James White: Calvinism vs Molinism on the Problem of Evil - 2021: <a href='https://bit.ly/3C7BrZy'>https://bit.ly/3C7BrZy</a> </p> <p>For Dr Tim Stratton: <a href='https://t.co/pbqi0cqnC4'>https://t.co/pbqi0cqnC4</a> For Dr James White: <a href='https://www.aomin.org/'>https://www.aomin.org/</a> </p> <p>• For exclusive resources and to support us: USA: <a href='http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow'>http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow</a> Rest of the World: <a href='https://my.premier.org.uk/donate/donate-unbelievable-2021'>https://my.premier.org.uk/donate/donate-unbelievable-2021</a> </p> <p>• For Premier Unbelievable? events and conference: <a href='https://www.unbelievable.live'>https://www.unbelievable.live</a> </p> <p>• For our regular Newsletter: <a href='https://www.premier.org.uk/Unbelievablenewsletter'>https://www.premier.org.uk/Unbelievablenewsletter</a> </p> <p>• For more faith debates: <a href='http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable'>http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable</a> </p>

Ep 320James White vs William Lane Craig: Calvinism vs Molinism on the problem of evil
<p>Calvinism and Molinism are two very different ways of understanding God's sovereignty. But which one best addresses the problem of evil? </p> <p>James White argues that Calvinism - God foreordaining all human behaviour both good and evil - is the more Biblical and coherent view. William (Bill) Lane Craig argues that Molinism - a view which reconciles human freedom and divine sovereignty - is Biblically consistent without making God the author of evil.</p> <p>For James White: <a href='https://www.aomin.org'>https://www.aomin.org</a> For Bill Craig: <a href='https://www.reasonablefaith.org'>https://www.reasonablefaith.org</a> For the 2013 Bill Craig & Paul Helm dialogue on Calvinism & Molinism: <a href='https://bit.ly/3o550G0'>https://bit.ly/3o550G0</a> </p> <p>---</p> <p>For exclusive resources and to support us:</p> <p>• Register for Premier Unbelievable?
