We call predestination God's eternal
decree, by which he determined with
himself what he willed to become of
each man. For all are not created in
equal condition; rather, eternal life is
foreordained for some, eternal
damnation for others. Therefore, as any
man has been created to one or the other
of these ends, we speak of him as
predestined to life or death. – J. Calvin
