Molinism in a Nutshell: God Makes Do the Best He Can

Turretinfan did a great job discussing Molinism. He explained why he rejects it as a viable understanding of how to reconcile God's Sovereignty with Human responsibility and free will. Added to the recent post from Jamin Hubner on Molinism, I think it's very evident how you can't substantiate Molinism from scripture. Turrentinfan wrote:


As you can see, ultimately it comes down to a question of whether a will - in order to be free - must have an ability that it never, ever uses - the ability to do the contrary. This rationale seems to be what drives the engine of Molinism, and while many people accept this rationale, you'll never find it in Scripture.


Agreed.
