Viewer asking about Molinism and Luis de Molina

Mike explains Molinism as a framework for reconciling sovereignty and free will. God knows not only what will happen but what would happen under any set of possible circumstances (middle knowledge / counterfactual knowledge), allowing him to orchestrate all events while permitting genuine free will. Mike says he arrived at this position biblically before hearing of Molina, and found Molina agreed. He has not read Molina's work directly. Notes Molina was a Counter-Reformation Catholic, which doesn't make him wrong. Mike identifies as Protestant.
