Free Will vs. Predestination How FREE Are You? Free Will vs. Predestination

JOURNAL QUESTION If I told you today that you were going to get an “A” in this class, what difference would that make in your attitude and actions?

PREDESTINATION It’s considered a heresy in the Catholic Church It’s the belief that the will of God is the sole cause of salvation or damnation of a person (no matter what the person does) It denies the freedom of the will

TULIP

TOTAL DEPRAVITY Basically, Adam and Eve screwed it all up for us Due to their Original Sin, our whole beings have been corrupted “Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all sinned.” -Romans 5:12

UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION SAVED DAMNED

LIMITED ATONEMENT Jesus did not die for the sake of everyone So did he die for YOU?

Irresistible Grace You can’t resist the love God is giving you Can you imagine that?!

PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS “Once saved, always saved” “For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.” -Romans 8: 29-30

A CATHOLIC RESPONSE…

COMPARE AND CONTRAST TOTAL DEPRAVITY UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION LIMITED ATONEMENT IRRESISTIBLE GRACE PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS CONCUPISCENCE EVERYONE IS INVITED JESUS DIED FOR EVERYONE GRACE CAN BE REJECTED YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SALVATION
