Free Will vs. Predestination: The Science & Scripture Nobody Talks About

About this episode

Christopher Enoch explores the debate between free will and predestination through neuroscience and biblical evidence.

Do you really have free will, or is every choice you make predetermined by biology, environment, and God? Christopher Enoch tackles the most difficult theological and philosophical debate of all time: Free Will vs. Determinism. We explore the latest neuroscience, genetic predispositions to spirituality, and the overwhelming biblical evidence for absolute predestination found in Romans 9, Ephesians, and Exodus.
