Hello and welcome back to Soterology 101.

And I start off with a frog in my throat apparently.

Sorry about that.

Live broadcasting. Here we go. I do want to

remind you to download the app if you've not done so already. Go to certiology 101.com. Click on the

support link. If you'd like to support us, we could not do this without our patrons who make this

possible. And remember to click on that classroom link and learn more about how to get a higher

theological education at Trinity Seminary.

I want to dive right into this video because I know most of you clicked on this to hear

from John Lennox, who I would love to have on the program, by the way, live, but have

not been able to make that happen.

So the next best thing I can do is to find great video clips of John Lennox. We've reviewed his book, Determined to Believe, which we find

a lot of commonality with him on. He does hold to the same basic provisionistic perspective that

I do with regard to eternal security, as well as the denial of total inability from birth.

And so he is a provisionist, by my estimation. And he is a well-known apologist.

I think a very intelligent man has, I think, three PhDs, most of which he does in mathematics.

He's a very, very intelligent person, obviously.

And so let's dive in as he's asked this question, why did God create atheists?

Let's listen.

Maybe you'll start this one off, John. Why would God create atheists? Let's listen. Maybe you'll start this one off, John.

Why would God create atheists?

Well, he wouldn't create atheists.
