43: God’s Sovereignty: Does It Mean He Causes Everything?

Does God’s sovereignty mean He directly causes everything that happens—including sin and suffering? This episode dives into one of the most debated theological questions in Christian history, exploring Ephesians 1:3-5 and its implications for God's rule over creation. We examine the Calvinist perspective, which asserts that God meticulously controls every detail of existence, and contrast it with the biblical portrayal of a sovereign God who reigns without negating human free will. Join us as we explore key Scripture passages that challenge deterministic views, demonstrating that God's authority does not require Him to be the author of evil.
