Predestination
A Christian man once told me that he didn’t believe in predestination. I thought to myself, the very word is used three times in the Bible (Rom. 8:30; Eph. 1:5, 11). So he obviously meant to say, that he didn’t believe in how some people interpret it. But how else can the word be interpreted? The word means: to mark out or determine beforehand. And it is used in the context of “whom he did foreknow” and “before the foundation of the world.”
