Episode Description:
Shawn presents three perspectives on God's role in salvation: Calvinism, where God predestines some for salvation and others for damnation; Arminianism, where God knows most will choose wrongly but remains powerless to save them due to freewill; and his own view, which sees God as loving and victorious, reconciling the world through Christ's sacrifice, offering salvation to all while respecting freewill. This interpretation emphasizes God's omniscience, omnipotence, mercy, and justice, ultimately presenting a deity who provides salvation from sin and death while allowing humans to make their own choices.
