The Strange Reasons Mindshift Thinks God Can't Exist
The Freethinking Podcasts
YouTube Channel is back with what he believes are several reasons the Christian God cannot exist. This time, the discussion focuses on divine emotions, jealousy, regret, and even memory in Heaven. If God experiences jealousy, regret, or other emotions, does that make Him less than perfect? Does divine regret imply a lack of foresight? And if people remember loved ones who are in Hell, can Heaven truly be a place of joy? In this episode, we examine Mindshift's arguments and explain why we believe they ultimately fail to undermine the Christian conception of God. Watch Mindshift's original...

info_outlineThis week, we're going to be talking about one of Tim's papers that he presented at ETS. We'll look at Tim's argument as to why Molinism gives us as Christians the ability to adequately answer the problem of moral evil, and why other views, particularly deterministic ones, do not.
