As RC Sproul puts it there is no rogue molecule in the universe, everything is under God's sovereignty.

@Andreamom001 4 ай бұрын

Yes, God is sovereign. But he doesn’t actively control every molecule every moment. He isn’t a puppeteer. He allows people to sin and rebel and even reject Him.

@ricksonora6656 4 ай бұрын

Extreme Calvinists conflate sovereignty with control. Sovereignty is about a authority and ability, but it does not require control of every detail.

Thank you for being willing to be true to Christian beliefs and to not twist them, as far too many people on social media do, to one side or the other.

I’ve been watching the aftermath from outside the US, on the news and social media. The crazy is next level. It makes me very concerned for the stability, sanity, and reputation of the church in America and beyond.

Sadly, the "church" in America has not had a good reputation for a long time. The vast majority of people who call themselves Evangelical Christians support abortion.

A critique of this video: Greg says that God didn’t cause the bullet to miss. A more truthful approach would be: we don’t know. God could have intervened, or maybe He didn’t. There is no acknowledgement that intervention by God might have been a possibility. I understand that Greg is working with the raw material God has given him and other than this he generally does a good job.

Thanks for the thought concerning if President Biden would have been in the same situation. Very helpful. I’m guessing most wouldn’t have been so passionate about God being a part of the situation then.

The difference would be we know Dem is so against Christian belief. I would only assume God is merciful on sinners.

Been listening to you since you started on air (KBRT, maybe?). I enjoy your commentary very much. And I like being able to watch you on KZbin as well as listen on your app. Just one suggestion: please look into the camera as much as possible when it is on. The more you focus on "us," the more we feel engaged. Thanks for everything you do for the kingdom and may God continue to bless you and your family.

I do have a question. If we believe in God’s sovereignty over each life and recognize the reality of evil, why isn’t it possible that the Lord sovereignty allows one to live for purposes we dont know and another to die also for purposes we don’t know. Thanks again.

@cecilly59 4 ай бұрын

What is difficult for me is if God had nothing to do with the bullets (hitting where they did and didn’t), then why should we pray for someone’s protection? It seems as if what happens comes down to either luck or being in the wrong or right place at the wrong or right time.

@ronochow 4 ай бұрын

When we pray, Jesus teaches us to pray for God's will to be done, we are acknowledging God's sovereignty over all things. If one prays for another's protection or in any matter, we might be reflecting our desires, but what matters more, is whether in our hearts we are willing to submit to God. And, even if things do not turn out the way that we thought or want it to, do we still trust in God, praise Him, and abide in Him, knowing that it is for good? If someone lives we also praise and thank God for His provision. God can actively do something, or allow something to happen. And the bible says that all things are under his control. So God did have something to do with the bullets in that they weren't out of his control, but He also did not necessarily need to act over the bullets to make them go where they went if that makes sense. And the more important part is where our hearts and desires are aligned.

I prefer referring to God as "omnipotent" rather than "sovereign." "Sovereign" is too easily misunderstood.
