Introduction The debate of free will versus predestination is one of the most controversial topics in philosophy and a key topic in religious quarters. Most philosophers claim that free will and predestination are the fundamental discussions in Christian circles, since the topics relate to the teachings of sin and grace. The protagonists of free will claim that responsibility is unavoidable and an alternative to free will is tantamount to spiritual paralysis. Predestination is a form of religious determinism whereby all events have been planned by God. In addition, predestination is viewed as divine foreknowledge of all that ought to occur with respect to salvation of some people whilst ignoring the rest. Apparently, these debates have caused some believers to generate the feeling of helplessness, while others have faltered on their beliefs on a Supreme God. However, this article will show that predestination interrupts free will. The theme will support the claim that Christians should have the privilege to exercise free will. Free will The free will of individuals is based on the motives of the mind. Christianity holds that initially humanity was devoid of the debilitating sinful nature. It embraces the idea of individual responsibility, and thus it claims that an individual’s deeds whilst responding to all that interacts with him/her lead to personal weakness or goodness. People have the freedom to adhere to the doctrines and guidance of God. In addition, when individuals choose to respond righteously, God rewards them with His grace (Geisler 13). When individuals act against the teachings of God, He punishes them for their wrong deeds. The protagonists of free will acknowledge that God is always aware of the choices that people intend to make and the consequences thereof. However, Christianity affirms that God’s awareness does not inhibit human beings from sinning or acting righteously. The free will of humankind is vested in the choice to determine one’s actions. The protagonists of predestination, who are also referred to as Calvinists, argue that God has the control of the free will to occur and He predetermines the results of any action. This assertion does not interfere with the free will as predestination protagonists argue. The prior knowledge of God about people’s deeds must not be seen as fatalism. In addition, Christians do not lack the capability to command their actions. Christians can control and be responsible for their actions by the will of God (Ely 35). It is difficult to articulate how responsibility can exist in human beings in the absence of free will. For an obligation to be met, ability must exist. If an individual decides to take a particular decision, s/he has the ability to do so. Therefore, the will should always be guided to act free, choose the good, and practice it. In this case, sin remains as a deliberate action and free will is the determining factor in wrongdoing. Human beings are capable of living life free of sin provided they decide to do so. Avoiding sin does not need the intervention of the divine workings of the Holy Spirit or being aware of the supernatural powers of the almighty God. As newborns enter this world, they are not bound by sin. They are in a posi
