Episode 248: How should we understand texts that seem to contradict election? Part 2

Episode 248

Episode Highlights:

  • 1 Tim 2:4 would only pose a contradiction of the doctrine of election if it meant, “God sovereignly wills all people without exception to be saved…”
  • The interpretation, “God sovereignly wills all people without exception to be saved” can be excluded on theological grounds as it amounts to universal salvation. Dan 4:35; Isa; 14:27; John 3:36; Rom 2:5-8
  • The most likely understanding of 1 Tim 2:4 is that God morally wills all kinds of people to be saved.
