Exploring the Illusion of Free Will: with R.C. Sproul

What if the concept of free will as we know it is just an illusion? Join me, Michael Tolliver, alongside the insightful R.C. Sproul, as we challenge this deeply entrenched notion, exploring theological and philosophical dimensions. Drawing from the Westminster Confession, our discussion seeks to unveil whether humanity truly has the freedom to choose God and salvation post-fall into sin, which allegedly leaves us spiritually incapacitated. We scrutinize the humanist perspective on free will, questioning the spontaneity of choices that seemingly lack any prior motivations, as illustrated by the crossroads dilemma faced by Alice in Wonderland.
Our exploration doesn't stop there. Ever pondered how a simple decision like choosing a spot on a park bench can mirror your broader life choices? We tackle this and more, dissecting how our internal desires and external forces shape our decisions. With insights from Edwards and Calvin, we dissect the intricate dance between determinism and free will, arguing that every choice, though influenced, is freely made. This episode promises to provoke thought and inspire a fresh perspective on the moral and spiritual implications of free will.
