If we're honest, God's knowledge of the future seems to contradict our free will. If He knows what we'll do, are we really free to choose? Some explain this by claiming that God doesn't know the entire future because He doesn't know what we will do - He's like us, always learning and growing based on new information. Unfortunately, we run into some terrifying problems when we try to force God to line up with our understanding of free will.

Do Christians REALLY need theology?
I mentioned that we don't read a single Bible verse. Here's my discussion on why we need to read them in their larger context so that we can fit our interpretation into the bigger system of the Bible.

Why does Christ say He'd rather us be cold than lukewarm? There's a popular way to interpret Revelation 3:15-16, but it doesn't make sense when we look at what the rest of the Bible says about those who are "cold" and "lukewarm" in their walk with Christ. Join me as we dive into God's word and understand His call to holy living.
Scripture used: Revelation 3:15-16, Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 6:19-21, Hebrews 5:11-14, 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, 2 Peter 3:18, Luke 17:5, Matthew 13:1-24, 1 John 2:19, Matthew 17:15-20, Matthew 12:34-35, Revelation 2:1-7, Revelation 3:17, James 4:1-4, Romans 6:15-18, Romans 12:2, 1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 4:17-24
