The idea that "God predestines it all" , is based on John Calvinism, who was very educated but kinda stupid when it came to realising the NT, "doctrinally".
See, here is what he did.. He read.....>>"God's Foreknowledge"..........and that means that God KNOWS everything BEFORE.. it happens next.....and He didnt understand this definition, so, he falsely redefined God Knowing it all is "God predestined it all".
And he sold this false doctrine of "predestination".... to innocent people who became decived by it....and they evolved it into more false (TULIP) Doctrine, and this is taught by deceived People on Fourms like this one, and in Pulpits, and in commentaries, and in Youtube Videos, and on "Calvinism" websites and on TV.
So, one mans wrong comprehension of " God's Foreknowledge" became this HUGE 500 yr old = universal LIE that is " " God predestined" it all., that has lasted for 500 yrs, and just keeps growing and mind blinding people, who then define themselves as "Calvinists".
Result?
God creates CHRISTIANS
Calvin creates Calvinists
These are not the same.
