About this sermon

If God predestined everything, what's the point of prayer? In this thought-provoking clip, Leighton Flowers and @AKRichardsonunpack why prayer and free will make no sense under Calvinistic determinism—and how verses like Proverbs 19:21 actually support human freedom. Even James White agrees in part. Dive into the logic, the scripture, and the real implications. 00:00 – Can you pray for someone God hasn’t chosen? 00:21 – Proverbs 19:21: Whose will really stands? 00:53 – Calvinism and theistic determinism explained 01:19 – Why this verse contradicts determinism 02:00 – Jonah, Paul, and how God convinces 03:05 – James White’s “creaturely freedom” 03:27 – The meme that exposes the contradiction 04:15 – Why Paul still prayed for the lost 05:06 – The logical flaw in Calvinistic prayer 05:46 – God as Father vs. God as Puppetmaster 06:28 – Paul’s persistence in persuasion 07:02 – If you pray—or don’t—was that predestined too? 08:33 – What we’re really praying for 09:54 – The difference between willing and doing 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...
