Why Didn't God Create a Universe Where Everyone Believed?

<p>Is faith in God a personal choice, or is it something God forces on people against their will? Misinterpretations of Romans 9 have led many Calvinists to read this narrative into the Scriptures, but what are they missing, and what does the context of Romans 9 reveal about its intended meaning?</p><p></p><p>Frank revisits the discussion surrounding election issues and God's sovereignty for this midweek podcast. Can you have love without free will? Did God only die for some people? Does God allow us to make some choices but not others? Is there anything that God can't do? And what are some of the bad theological and moral implications of five-point Calvinism? All this and more will be discussed in this eye-opening midweek podcast episode.</p><p></p><p>To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, be sure to <a href="https://community.crossexamined.org/" style="color: rgb(50,51,56); background-color: rgb(255,255,255);">join our CrossExamined private community</a>.
