Reasoning Through the Bible

Send us a text

How can human actions, driven by free will, align with divine providence? Explore this compelling question with us as we dissect the story of Joseph from Genesis chapters 45 and 50 on Reasoning Through the Bible. We promise you'll gain a deeper understanding of how the seemingly conflicting notions of God's causation and human agency coexist. Through key verses like Genesis 45:7-8 and Genesis 50:20, we unravel how Joseph's brothers' malicious intentions were ultimately used by God to bring about a greater good.
Join Glenn and Steve as they navigate differing views on God's interaction with human free will, highlighting theological insights from figures like Thomas Aquinas and the Westminster Confession. We'll discuss major Biblical events, including Joseph's rise to power in Egypt and the crucifixion of Jesus, to illustrate how God's plans can unfold through human actions without coercion. Whether you're inclined to believe in divine sovereignty or human volition, this episode is bound to challenge and expand your understanding. We greatly value your thoughts and encourage you to reach out to us at [e-mail] with questions you may have.
