Tuesday Contradictions: Matthew 6:10 – Heaven's Hidden Conflict Unveiled: A Biblical Investigation
Welcome to another episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast, hosted by Lance Smith. In this intriguing "Contradictions Day," we tackle the provocative question: Is God's will always done in heaven? By examining Matthew 6:10 and Revelation 12:7, this episode explores the tension between heavenly obedience and rebellion. Dive deep into scholarly insights from W. Philip Keller, Wayne Jackson, and more, as we unravel the mysteries surrounding cosmic battles and divine plans.
With insights drawn from scholarly articles and theological debates, we navigate through a wave of interpretations, linking Jesus’s teachings in the Lord’s Prayer to heavenly obedience and exploring Revelation's portrayal of warfare and rebellion. Does the war symbolize a past disruption or a future battle? What's the role of free will and redemption? We seek to answer these questions and more, inspiring you to mirror divine obedience in daily life.
Join Lance as he unwraps the complexities of divine will, the impact of Christ's victory, and the role of repentance and alignment with God's Kingdom. Tune in to our conversation, as we encourage listeners to bring the ethics of heaven to earth, one prayer at a time. This isn't just a theological journey, it's a call to action. Enjoy the unraveling of heavenly mysteries on our podcast, available on your favorite platforms.

In today’s Tue. Contradictions episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast, Lance tackles “Is God’s will always done in heaven?” with a warm tone, like sharing iced tea on a summer porch. He explores the clash between Matthew 6:10’s perfect heaven and Revelation 12:7’s war led by Satan. With Columbo-like zeal, He uses humor and analogies (God as potter) to reconcile the verses via scholars, showing a brief rebellion doesn’t derail God’s will. He urges us to mirror heaven’s obedience.
