Answer

The Arminian-Calvinist debate was a theological dispute that began in the early 16th century and continued into the 18th century. The debate centered on the question of predestination, or whether God has predestined some people to salvation and others to damnation. Arminius argued that God's grace is universal, and that all people have the opportunity to be saved if they choose to accept Christ.
