Welcome to Saint James Lutheran
146 N Main St • Glen Carbon ILElection (Ep129)
One of the most confusing, controversial topics in the Bible is that of election – the teaching that God has chosen his people from before the foundation of the world. Confusing, because it’s hard to understand how humans can be free when God chooses those who are saved. Controversial, because it raises questions about God’s fairness. In this episode Chuck and Aaron discuss these and other questions relating to predestination and election.
