About this sermon

Dr. Flowers confronts an audio clip from an "Ask John Piper" podcast about whether or not God is ever surprised. Piper answers the question by going FAR beyond the scope of the scripture and undermining the biblical concept of foreknowledge by equating it with predetermination. Piper even goes so far to say, "God knows it (all future happenings) because He does it." Is this biblical or just the logical implications of a highly systematized Calvinistic worldview of meticulous divine determinism? Let's explore... You can listen to the full audio broadcast of Dr. Piper here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvpSkwUPnyk&t=464s
