God, Prayer, and BABY-MAKING: A Response to Calvinists
Manage episode 448159957 series 3612597
Drew and Eric delve into a heated online exchange about the theological implications of God’s role in granting requests—specifically within the context of theistic determinism and baby conception. Responding to a controversial tweet where a Reformed believer thanked God for granting their request for a child, the hosts explore the tension between deterministic theology and how believers live out their faith. They argue that such statements expose inconsistencies in determinism, where petitioning God seems contradictory if all events are already predestined.
Drew and Eric engage with both theological critique and online backlash, reflecting on how Reformed theologians navigate these complex topics. Through humor, theological insights, and thoughtful analysis, they challenge their audience to consider whether determinism truly aligns with their everyday spiritual experiences, especially when it comes to prayer and divine interaction. The episode culminates in a broader discussion about the implications of free will theology and how it contrasts with deterministic views of God’s sovereignty.
