Extra Credit: Exodus

There are optional activities in the Omnibus I Text book that, if I were the teacher, I would make extra credit.  So here it is:

Study the passage below from Martin Luther's treatise.  The Bondage of Will.  Then answer the questions that follow.

"For if we believe it to be true that God foreknew and fore ordains all things; that he cannot be deceived pr obstructed  in His foreknowledge and predestination; and that nothing happens but at His will (which reason itself is compelled to grant); then, on reason's own testimony, there can be no 'free-will' in man, angel, or in any creature. So, if we believe that Satan is the prince of this world, ever ensnaring and opposing the kingdom of Christ with all his strength, and that he does not let his prisoners go unless he is driven out by the power of the Divine Spirit, it is again apparent that there can be no 'free-will'."

1. What does Luther mean by foreknowledge?

2. How does foreknowledge differ from foreordaining or predestined?

3. Why does Luther reject the idea of free will?

4. How can people who are slaves of the devil be freed from him?
