God’s Sovereignty: Mystery or Logical Contradiction? PLUS MORE Q&A

﻿

What are the most common questions Frank answers during his college visits and how do we distinguish between a legitimate theological mystery and a true logical contradiction when discussing God’s omnipotence, foreknowledge, and moral responsibility with skeptics?

In this midweek Q&A episode, Frank tackles the problem of evil and the deeper questions it raises about God’s goodness, justice, and mercy. Find out how free will, moral responsibility, and redemption fit into a MUCH bigger story that explains suffering while offering real hope in the midst of experiencing great pain. Frank will answer questions like:

What is classical Christian theology and how does it address the problem of evil?

What are the four major categories of Christian apologetics?

Where can you easily find answers to skeptics most commonly asked questions about Christianity?

Does God care more about our comfort or our character?

What are four major problems with macroevolution?

If God is good and all-powerful, why doesn’t He stop evil?

What does Frank say that redemption is more powerful than innocence?

When it comes to God’s omnipotence, is appealing to “mystery” a copout or is there a clear difference between a logical contradiction and a limitation in human understanding?

What are two powerful examples from Frank’s personal life where good emerged from a tragic event?

Later in the program, Frank also reacts to President Trump’s State of the Union address and what it reveals about the political divide in our country, including the dangers of blind loyalty. Do you have a question for Frank? Send it to hello@crossexamined.org!
