God & Human: The War Of Autonomy and Default Natures

We looked at Tim Stratton’s “EDD” argument, the idea that if you believe in “Exhaustive Divine Determinism” then you are left with “a god of deceit” who forces you to believe wrong things and therefore you can never know when you believe true things. We compared this silly philosophical trick with the Biblical perspective.

"You're going to have to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ and answer for that kind of philosophical silliness." Mic drop...

James is right, there is one autonomous will in the Universe and it's God's.

This was incredibly powerful, encouraging, and challenging all at the same time.
Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone!

Putting some body in some circumstances doesn't mean they r forcrd to do some thing, for example God knows that if he put u and me in a certain crossroad u will go left and i right, so why won't we be obliged to take the same direction?
Simply because we are not forced to do so, so God only knows what we will chose.
If God wants he can force us or persuade us to take the same direction, but what he did chose to do?
He gave us the choice.
But I think he interferes some time to chose a road out of his wisdom.
But in the end, God knows best.

Clap trap? That’s a new one. I like it.

lol @ stratton. the presumed conclusion drives the exegesis! disregard scripture!

20:00 question is: Why bother to evoke someone to repent in his wrong views and say that he will stand before Jesus and so on, if all his wrong ideas were predestined by God Himself?
