Dear All, Predestination was a very Calvinistic theological theme which emphasized the Sovereignty of God. If God was truely a God of the whole universe, then He must be able to control it with absolute power and resolution. If there was no free will in all God's creation, then predestination would be no great problem. But since the Bible said that God created angels and humans with the special and wonderful and terrible gift of freedom of will, then the interactions and complications among the free will of God, Satan, angels and humans would make the understanding of the predestination become more murky and mysterious.
