And since we are people of expectation, we are so convinced that another world is coming that we start living as if it were already here.

Morgan Freeman

We talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept. We soon discover that John Calvin did not invent it.
