Matt Slick vs. Jesse Morrell on Free Will

The following is the video of a recent debate between Jesse Morrell and Matt Slick on Free Will vs. the Reformed view of Election:





IMO, Slick embarrasses himself in this debate, including dancing around the theological problem Cornelius poses to Calvinism.

The book that is cited in this debate is The Natural Ability of Man: A Study on Free Will and Human Nature which provides some good arguments against Total Depravity.

What comes out in this debate is that Slick is autistic (he mentions this during the Q&A). This explains a number of things about Slick, including his inability to engage in two-way conversations (exemplified in his radio debates with Robert Sungenis) and ability to follow linguistically-led logic (something Trinitarians suffer from--Trinitarian apologists tend to suffer from a "spiritual autism")
