God’s Sovereignty and Human Freedom—Can Both Be True? w/ Chadd Wright

About this sermon

What does it mean for God to be sovereign? Does He allow human freedom without compromising His rule? In today’s conversation, Dr. Leighton flowers and Chadd Wright explore whether God can truly be sovereign and humans still genuinely free. We talk about: -Does God cause evil or simply use it? -Are “two parallel truths” really necessary—or is there a better answer? -The chessboard analogy of sovereignty -Why God’s holiness matters in this debate -How thinkers like MacArthur, Sproul, and Tozer approach this tension Check out the full interview on Chadd's channel @3of7Projecthere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF0L6w4H6AA Timestamps: 00:00 Can God Use Evil Without Causing It? 01:30 MacArthur, Sproul & The “Parallel Truths” Debate 03:00 Is Mystery the Easy Way Out? 04:15 The Journey Out of “Both Are True” Theology 05:30 Sovereignty Redefined—Not Control, but Supremacy 06:30 Tozer’s View: Freedom Inside God’s Sovereignty 07:30 The Chessboard Analogy Explained 08:50 Can Humans Reject God’s Purpose? 09:45 Does God Author Evil Intentions? 11:00 1 John 2:16 & God’s Holiness Argument 12:15 Final Thoughts—Freedom Doesn’t Threaten God To get your copy of Dr. Flowers new book, Drawn By Jesus, go here: https://a.co/d/6s767Ey To SUPPORT this broadcast, please click here: https://soteriology101.com/support/ Subscribe to the Soteriology 101 Newsletter here: www.soteriology101.com/newsletter Is Calvinism all Leighton talks about? https://soteriology101.com/2017/09/22/is-calvinism-all-you-talk-about/ DOWNLOAD OUR APP: LINK FOR ANDROIDS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...
