The Lies of Free Will: Do You Control Your Own Destiny?

By Larry Phillips

This book is an easy reference to the origin and history of the false doctrine of free will. It shows the inception of the false idea from before creation by Satan and down through history including those who are still purporting the lies of free will today. The book also shows the contrast of the lies of free will to the truth ; that being the Sovereignty of God in all things including His creation and their destiny.

FOREWORD

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power Psa 110:3

Walk the aisle of most Christian book stores and you will find row after row of books on self-help. Whether it be How to be Born Again, 10 Steps to Christian Maturity, or Your Best Life Now, one thing is sure, at the heart of all those books, are an unbiblical doctrine that has taken a stranglehold on modern Christianity and the churches it flows from. If there be one subject that seems to cause the most contention between the professing believers of God, it is the subject of human freewill. This unbiblical doctrine is not new, however. It has spanned the course of time and reaches back before Adam and into heaven itself.
