A few posts on Calvin and His (Rotten) Idea....(talk about the Trespassers)

[Mark Kohut]

Predestination (also linked with foreknowledge) is a religious concept, which involves the relationship between God and His creation. The religious character of predestination distinguishes it from other ideas about determinism and free will. Those who believe in predestination, such as John Calvin, believe that before the creation God determined the fate of the universe throughout all of time and space.
   
    Predestination: The Divine foreordaining of all that will happen; with regard to the salvation of some and none others. It has been particularly associated with the teachings of St. Augustine of Hippo and of John Calvin.
