When we say we don't believe people have free will, it is a particular response to the Arminian definition of Free Will. We do not mean that people don't have the ability to make decisions and follow through with those decisions. We do mean that people have been cut off from the Tree of Life and lack the ability to reach out, take the fruit, and eat. Christ must hand us the fruit from His tree.

When Judas returns the silver and commits suicide, he is fulfilling prophecy specifically concerning what we often call the Battle of Armageddon.

I have been asked to cover the topic of Calvinism today. This is the first of a six-episode look at Calvinism and its alternatives. Please listen respectfully. My intent is not to convert anyone to or away from any self-designated category. It is to bring us closer to Christ as we consider who He is and what He is doing.
