Is Calvinism Biblical? (Debate)Steve Gregg
Steve Gregg and Douglas Wilson engage in a discussion about the biblical basis of Calvinism. Wilson posits that God's decree creates freedom for humanity, which means that trivial choices have everlasting implications because of God's sovereignty. Meanwhile, Gregg argues that Calvinism lacks exegetical strength, and he questions if anyone can show a verse that teaches absolute divine determinism. Despite their differences, both agree that the Bible teaches that man has a choice.
