Predestination and Free Will

By: Barry Clay

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One of the theological mysteries that every Christian who wrestles with doctrine faces is the tension between predestination and free will. Christians have been arguing over this since the 4th century, with some churches stressing the sovereign work of God and others stressing the free will of man. In this chapter taken from the book "Solid Ground", Mr. Clay explores part of this conflict and attempts to resolve it from a look at what the Bible says on both sides of the issue. Mr. Clay explains that he believes both sides have part of the truth and need to see the entire truth partially represented by the other side.

This title is a companion to the title "The Theological Fight of the Centuries," and it addresses the nub of the problem: is a man saved because he chooses God, or because God chooses him? Mr. Clay's answer may surprise you.

This excerpt has also been included in the book "UnReformed".

Wonderful Layout

He explains the heart of the debate in a way that is understandable. It is logical but not too theologically heavy. it's perfect for a guy like me who just wants clarity.

Christian Reconciliation

Thank you so much. Having been in churches from both sides, I have struggled with this topic. Thank you for explaining both sides with destroying either one.
