Molinism — middle knowledge reconciles divine sovereignty and human free will

Subscriber Hangout and Q&A - LIVE! 00:43:55 – 00:45:56

A viewer asks about Molinism as a worldview for reconciling sovereignty and free will.

Mike leans toward Molinism. Before creating anything, God knows all possible butterfly effects of every scenario (middle knowledge). This allows God to construct a universe where he is fully sovereign and humans still make genuinely free choices — because God has factored in every possible response and constructed reality accordingly. He contrasts this with Calvinism: God individually picking (or by omission, not picking) who would believe.
