Scripture

2 Samuel 21
Isaiah 10

About this sermon

Isaiah 10, Romans 9, and a few other texts seem to suggest that God is judging people for evil things He caused them to do. Yet, we know from James 1:13 that God cannot be tempted by evil nor does he tempt anyone to do evil. We know God is Holy and is not the author of moral evil, so why do some Christians insist these passages teach God causally determines all things (theistic determinism)? Let's dive in!
