Predestination, Part 2

Mr. Smith continues his Bible study series on Predestination. He begins by addressing the question, is prophecy a proof of Predestination, or can prophecies be changed? Next he asks the question, if the accepted view of Predestination is true, what is the role of repentance? He then goes into the history of the ideas on Predestination in mainstream Christianity over the past several hundred years.
