The Two Wills of God — A Calvinist Concept That Doesn’t Hold Up

When asked whether God literally desires the salvation of all people, the answer should be simple: yes. But Calvinist theology introduces a "two wills" framework — God's sovereign will vs. His moral will — that makes a straightforward verse like 1 Timothy 2:4 confusing. This video breaks down why that framework doesn't hold up, and why the simpler explanation (libertarian free will) makes more sense of Scripture without the theological gymnastics.
