#20 – Questions, Answers, & a Little Bit of Debate
Knowing Faith
How Can We Understand God's Moral Will Versus His Sovereign Will?
How can we understand God's moral will versus his sovereign will? He commands thou shalt not kill. Yet he orders the genocide of the canaments by the Israelites. We get asked this question all the time in the training program. Every year without fail. And you have a great answer for this.
On this episode, Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Elizabeth Woodson to answer theological questions from our listeners. Listen to the crew discuss (and debate) topics like how we should read passages about Israel in 2018 or why God seems to be silent about the treatment of women…
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- Are Israel and the Church the same in the New covenant? How should we read passages about Israel in 2018? Do they relate to current events in the state of Israel?

- Kyle, what brand of toothpaste do you use? What brand of laundry detergent does Kyle use to get the toothpaste out of his shirt?
