good stuff, now can you show us biblically in scriptures where we are free without using counterfactuals in the scriptures? I just want to see if you find what I found (=. I have been researching on Where our freedom and God's freedom meet after the decree....not focusing during God's Middle Knowledge moment, but after the decree.
Good insight. I would just encourage more scripture (=
I do not see how Molinism's theory of free differs much from the Calvinist's idea of compatiblist free-will. Can you explain this difficulty for me? I'm an Arminian but interestesed nonetheless :)
@Brightstar27 Compatibilism tries to reconcile Free Will & God's Sovereignty but has no 'mechanism', so it amounts to double-speak. Man is free to do what God wills him to do. Molinism teaches that God legitimately takes man's Free Will into account when making His Disicisons, cause thats part of His Will. He knows what a Free Will creature WOULD do in a given circumstance, then arranges the circumstances so that we Freely do what He wants. So God ALLOWS evil with the end purpose of working GOOD
