Take a moment please brethren and report this "newer" member for flooding this thread with youtube videos. This is old, in addition to calling others satanists and other names since his arrival. It appears he has gone right into attack mode at his commencement here upon only a certain group which is all too familiar.
Can anyone find someone teaching against free will before Augustine?

Well, first off, you're begging the question bro.
It's apparent to me at least and via deducing from Genesis 3:17-18 and Romans 8:22ff that the creation is under a curse. The whole creation is groaning, and awaiting redemption. The awaiting redemption piece in context shows both earth and saved man look forward to this. Since this is the case it is a given the creation is not in its same state as it were at its creation. The cursing of the ground is also telltale as to this in Genesis.
Can anyone find someone teaching against free will before Augustine? That guy really did a number on the church, he is the head honcho of both the catholic and protestant systems. Them protestant reformers didnt go back far enough, only to 400. I woulda been among the anabaptists in them days.
Augustine was heavily influenced by gnosticism, he was a manichean before and looks like he brought alot of that baggage with him.
Meddico, you follow Arminius who was a Ramist and Infralapserianist. So you're a Dutch Remonstrandt.and John Calvin is no difference, you don't follow scripture but follows a man idea of what the scriptures mean. John Calvin was a Catholic and also taught like a Catholic.
