“If God is not love but only knowledge, then it is difficult or impossible to see how human free will and divine predestination can both be true. But if God is love, there is a way.
“Freedom and predestination is one of the most frequently asked questions among my students – partly because of modern man’s great concern for freedom, but also, I think, for the largely unconscious reason that we intuitively know both these things must be true because they are the warp and woof of every good story. If a story has no plot, no destiny – if its events are haphazard and arbitrary – it is not a great story.”
In a recent commentary, Peter Kreeft, Ph.D. (professor of philosophy at Boston College, author, and speaker) reflected on God’s love and power and their role in our lives.
