PredestinationPredestination, in the dictionary, is said to be "the doctrine that God, in consequence of his foreknowledge of all events, infallibly guides those who are destined to salvation." Scripture contains 2 very good passages to define what predestination is: Jeremiah 1:5 which says: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I placed you apart ; I have made you a prophet to the nations. » God is talking about Jeremiah in this passage and how God chose him before time; he was predestined for his work. Romans 8:28-30 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image. of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom he predestined, them he also called; and those whom he called, them he also justified, and those whom he justified, them he also glorified. This passage speaks of God's ultimate omniscience regarding our predestination and how we would respond to the message of God's Word. Reformed churches believe in another type of predestination called “double predestination,” which says that God does not only determine the salvation of the elect. , but also the damnation of the reprobate. For example, it seems interesting that Rev. Herman Hoeksema (Reformed Church) chose II Timothy 2:19 to base his belief in this double predestination. This passage only says that God knows who is His and that those who are His will depart from iniquity, it says nothing about the rest of the world being chosen to be damned. From this passage he speaks of a deliberate division within our race that causes a constant issue of suffering...... middle of paper ...... would be saved and who would reject him he knew the answer to this question before time even began. God therefore predestined believers to be more like Christ. The most convincing proof that there is no double predestination is John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have life. eternal. » Because if God loved the whole world, that means he loved everyone, not everyone except you, but everyone. God continues to try to help us accept the word, even though his insight tells him it is a lost cause, because of the great love and grace he shows us. So, in answer to the question, some are predestined to be damned there. can only be one correct answer, no. God did not predestine anyone to be damned, but it was of his own free will that he rejected Jesus as his savior and was subsequently damned..
