In this episode of Out of the Question, Andrea Schwartz and Pastor Charles Roberts tackle the provocative claim that free will, as commonly taught, is not a biblical doctrine but a revival of the lie first spoken in Genesis. Drawing from R.J. Rushdoony’s theology, they distinguish everyday human choice from salvation, arguing that fallen man never chooses God apart from divine grace. The discussion exposes how modern Christianity often blends biblical language with humanistic assumptions, turning salvation into a matter of personal autonomy rather than God’s sovereign act of regeneration.

The conversation presses the issue beyond theology into culture, law, and society, showing how denying God’s sovereignty inevitably leads to chance, contradiction, and ultimately state tyranny. Predestination is presented not as fatalism but as the necessary foundation for meaning, responsibility, and hope, while the myth of free will exalts man as his own god. The episode calls listeners back to Scripture’s absolute authority, reminding us that salvation is a miracle of God, sanctification is a lifelong process, and the gospel is not self rule but the rule of Christ over every area of life.
