Podcasts about Molinism

We look at a number of apparent theological paradoxes that are resolved in the same way, according to the principle that: “the entirety of Your WORD is TRUTH” (Ps 119:160). In each case, there are a set of Scriptures that emphasise one truth and another set of Scriptures that emphasise a different truth, but it can seem hard to see how to hold both truths together as they don't seem to fit. Some examples are: (1) the Prophecies of the Sufferings and Glory of Christ (Luke 24:25), (2) the Goodness and Severity of God, (3) God's Sovereignty and man's free-will, (4) the fact that Christ is both God and man (the hypostatic union), (5) the Tri-unity of God, and (6) how we can be forgiven in Christ (as far as our relationship is concerned), and yet still need forgiveness (as far as our fellowship with God is concerned). In each of these cases, people can easily go into a ditch on either side of the road of truth by choosing the set of Scriptures they like, and then ignoring or explaining away the Scriptures on the other side. The answer is found in realising that both sets of Scriptures are fully true, because there are 2 distinct (but related) realms of truth (if you can try to reconcile the 2 truths by mixing them together, you end up compromising and destroying them both - for example, by saying Christ is a semi-god and a semi-man, whereas the truth is that He is fully God and fully man). On the basis that all Scripture is true, we should embrace both revelations of truth, then seek God for a deeper understanding of how both sides can be fully true. When we do this, we will be rewarded with a fuller revelation of God's truth.

A big announcement from Reasonable Faith and a collection of popular questions on Molinism.

Free-For-All Friday is back, and Jay & George are discussing another abused and misused Bible verse with John 12:32. Before they do that, however, the guys talk about the threat to free speech and some Molinism nonsense. Listen to the conversation, and may it be a blessing.  Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner. Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen. Conformed to Christ is a ministry of Christ's Fellowship Church. https://cfclawton.org/ ***Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and Amazon Music Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCgQBeT-Mj1CmngPdhZyWybQ iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conformed-to-christ/id1503247486 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2NvbmZvcm1lZHRvY2hyaXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5YruCZu4hla6Ll3rBu7UPY Podbean: https://conformedtochrist.podbean.com

Calvinism, Arminianism, and God's Middle Knowledge Salvation. How do we understand it? Within the church there are two primary views that Christians hold: God has predestined us to be saved but we also have liberty—we may choose to either follow or deny him. On this podcast, we're going to explore something that is a third choice, something called middle knowledge or Molinism. Join us as we explore aspects of each of these positions with Dr. Kenneth Keathley.

Happy Wednesday!   This is the fourth in a series of episodes dedicated to a young woman named Lizzy. Today we're talking with special guest, Tim Stratton, founder of Free Thinking Ministries. Tim is here to discuss Lizzy's questions about free will, and God choosing people. He shares about why these types of conversations are important to him personally. He also shares about his passion for Molinism.  Lizzy is a college student from Chelan, Washington. Lizzy grew up in a loving Christian home but has a lot of questions about God, identity, and purpose. She is a very curious person and is someone who often takes things literally. She admits she struggles with anxiety and wonders why God pursues her when it's hard for her to trust Him. She says she's sensed Him trying to get her attention but is unsure about having experienced His love. Lizzy and Janell have known each other for seven years.    We hope you enjoy this week's episode!     About Tim: Timothy A. Stratton was in youth ministry for fifteen years. He started as an intern in Santa Cruz, California, then went on to work for Youth For Christ, Navigators, and eventually worked as a youth pastor for nearly ten years in the Evangelical Free Church in Kearney, Nebraska. He saw first-hand how the lies of “new atheists” were impacting the young impressionable minds of his students. This led Tim to devote his life to answering “tough” questions about God and Christianity. As a result, Tim founded FreeThinking Ministries in 2015. Tim pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Nebraska-Kearney (B.A. 1997) and after working in full-time ministry for several years went on to attain his graduate degree from Biola University (M.A. 2014). More recently, Tim earned his Doctorate in Systematic Theology from North-West University (Ph.D. 2020).  His doctoral work primarily focuses on demonstrating God's middle knowledge and mankind's libertarian freedom (“Mere Molinism”), and how this view has apologetic significance. Along with FTM, Tim is a professor of Theology at Trinity Theological Seminary and College of the Bible. He has spoken to numerous audiences around the country and loves to engage in one-on-one conversations with anyone doubting or wrestling with the truth of Christianity. He spends much of his time recording podcasts and writing articles on his website. He also enjoys interacting with our culture via several social media outlets. Tim is passionate about answering questions regarding God, the Bible, and Christianity.    -- -- -- -- --   Links: https://freethinkingministries.com/tim-stratton/ Human Freedom, Divine Knowledge, & Mere Molinism Faith Examined on Amazon FSR YouTube Page FSR Patron

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/08/24), Hank answers the following questions:How can I find out what my spiritual gifts are? Eric - Nashville, TN (1:24)What books most influenced your theology? Jason - Littleton, CO (3:08)What do you think about spiritual formation classes? Susan - St. Louis, MO (6:53)What are your thoughts on the idea of Molinism or “middle knowledge,” espoused by theologians such as William Lane Craig? Jim - Atlanta, GA (15:11)How can I know who I am supposed to marry? Charles - Kansas City, MO (21:42)Could you comment on the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine of baptism in the name of Jesus only? Deion (23:26)

It's the age old question--if God is sovereign over all things then how do we have free will? And if God controls everything, does that make Him the author of evil since He causes humans to sin? How do we reconcile a good God with all of the pain and suffering that's happening in the world? It can seem like a bit of a conundrum for Christians, and the lack of satisfactory answers has caused many people to turn away from God. But what if there was a doctrine or school of thought that could help us make sense of these seemingly intractable problems? Joining Frank on the podcast this week is CIA graduate and professor of Theology at Trinity Theological Seminary, Tim Stratton, who has spent his fair share of time studying these dillemmas. So much time in fact, that this centuries old school of thought known as "Mere Molinism" became the focus of his doctoral dissertation. During the episode, Frank and Tim will answer questions like: What event in his personal life caused Tim to question his former Calvinist beliefs? Where does the term Molinism come from? What are the two "main ingredients" of Molinism? How does Molinism compare to Arminianism and Calvinism? What is the proper interpretation of Romans 9? How does Molinism solve the problem of evil? How does Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame apply to Molinism? If you've ever struggled with the problem of evil or wondered how we can possibly steer our own ship when God is completely omniscient, then this episode will definitely give you a few light bulb moments!

Join me, Brady Cone, and my esteemed guest Dr. Tim Stratton, founder of Free Thinking Ministries, as we explore the intricacies of faith and sexuality within the Christian context. Our dialogue reminisces about our youth ministry days and how a surge of atheism spurred Tim's intensive journey into apologetics. Listen in as we unpack the concept of reasonable faith and its crucial role in understanding Christian beliefs, particularly in relation to LGBTQ issues. Tim's insights into free will and Molinism pave the way for a robust discussion on God's love and its relevance to our ministry's approach to sexuality.  Venture with us through a theological examination of freedom, predestination, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Discover how Molinism offers a fresh perspective on the balance between God's sovereignty and human choice, especially in the context of LGBTQ struggles. You'll hear a personal testament to the life-changing potential of faith, and we'll reveal how scientific principles echo the biblical encouragement for renewing one's mind. This episode encourages listeners to engage in their sanctification process, drawing upon divine strength while exercising their free will.Timestamps:(00:16) - Embracing God's Standard for Sexuality (07:32) - Freedom and Mind Transformation (19:23) - Transformation Through Hard Work and Faith (28:09) - God's Power and Our Free Will (43:23) - Understanding Gospel, Interacting With AtheistsJoin us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#LGBTQ #Determinism #FreeWill #Sovereignty #Sexuality

In this episode, Mr. Minton has Dr. Kirk MacGregor on the podcast to talk about a view known as Open Theism, and what the biblical and philosophical issues with such a view are. Primarily they will be responding to arguments for Open Theism such as the argument that if humans have libertarian free will, God cannot foreknow our libertarianly free choices, as well as certain biblical proof texts Open Theists have marshaled in favor of their view. However, a positive case for God having foreknowledge of future contingent events is also made in this episode.

Why does God hide? If God loves us and truly desires that none should perish, why doesn't He make His existence more obvious? Wouldn't a loving God want us all to be saved? Divine hiddenness is a problem that puzzles many believers and non-believers, and in this midweek podcast episode, Christian philosophers + apologists Michael Jones and Eric Hernandez tackle it head-on!

"History began when humans invented gods, and will end when humans become gods."—Yuval Noah Harari We welcome back to the programme Jeremiah Allen, a Christian entrepreneur now living in Belize, for a wide-ranging interview as part of the ongoing conversation here at TMR called: "Following Christ in the New Old Normal." In the first conversation, with Rev Phill Sacre, we discussed "awakeness" in the church and beyond in the post-covid era. In the second conversation Pastor Stephen Buckley shared his perspective on the covid era, interpreting the response of so many churches in terms of God's constructive judgement upon the churches themselves. In this third conversation, Jeremiah Allen shares with us his conviction that only with the Fruit of the Spirit, developing in our lives through closeness to God, will the Christian successfully navigate the troubled waters of the days ahead. Jeremiah joined us last year to discuss "Disruptions and Preparations", which in some ways could be seen as an introduction to the present series of conversations "Jeremiah is a 42-year-old former US Army soldier and Iraq War veteran ('04-'05). After leaving military service, he worked as a Computer Network Security Expert for the US Missile Defense Agency. In 2013, he left his lucrative career and relocated his wife & two children to pursue ministry in Belize as an entrepreneur. Jeremiah is passionate about Jesus and sharing the Good News with others by living out the Great Commission in everyday life." [For show notes please visit https://themindrenewed.com]

This debate happened in February of 2022, but this is our chance to recap the overall debate on the podcast. In this episode, we discuss Dr. White's opening statement. In particular, we look at how he defined biblical and what he considered the essential three pillars of Molinism.

Questions Covered: 04:51 – How does Molinism not confirm double predestination?  14:06 – How does St. Jude's intercession come into play when asking for his help?  20:54 – Would it be abusing confession if you keep bringing up the same mortal sin repeatedly?  28:54 – If Mary was sinless, then how is it that she did not fulfill the law?  34:53 – Why do Christians still say Yahweh if the Vatican specifically wrote that we shouldn’t be using the word.  40:25 – Why did God pick Mary to be Jesus' mother?  45:22 – The Council of Florence claimed that circumcision is mortally sinful. When did that thought change?  49:50 – Have there been any saints throughout history that have had demons exorcized out of them?  …

On Feb 11th 2022, Dr James White and Dr Tim Stratton debated the question "Is Molinism Biblical?", at the First Lutheran Church in Houston. Molinism is the view that humans have genuine libertarian free will, while God has a special kind of knowledge called "Middle Knowledge" which allows him to factor human choices into how he arranges predestination. 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"!
