it is the former‚ however Desiderius Erasmus would argue for the latter. Although I tend to side more on Erasmus’s side of the debate‚ there are aspects of both authors writing that I agree with‚ and aspects of both that I disagree with in their “Discourse on Free Will.” Luther went into great detail to explain that human beings do not have free will.

We got back our English papers today‚ and since I’m lazy to update about anything‚ I decided to type my English essay and post it here... this one’s off the 2nd question (continuous writing).

Personally‚ I don’t think it’s that good... I really wish they gave us more time for this
