About this episode
Greg responds to a sign he saw that read, “Knowledge is not faith,” then he answers questions from a caller about how God can be sovereign over our decisions and just at the same time, how God can blame people he didn’t save, and where free will ends.
Topics:
- Commentary: Faith is not opposed to knowledge. (00:00)
- How is God sovereign over our decisions and just at the same time, how can he blame people he didn’t save, and where does free will end—i.e., if we can’t resist being chosen, what decisions can we resist? (33:00)
- Faith Does Not Save You by Amy Hall (quoting Greg Koukl on the “thick ice” idea)
- How to Be Sure You’re Saved by Greg Koukl
- Providence by John Piper (a comprehensive discussion of everything the Bible says about God’s purposeful sovereignty)
- Excusing Sinners and Blaming God by Guillaume Bignon
- How Can We Condemn Evil if God Is Sovereign? by Amy Hall
