Predestination in the Bible
This article is not meant to be an attack against Christianity in any way. Its only to respond to ignorant Christians who attack Islam for something that is found in their own religion. For a better understanding about predestination in Islam visit this article.
The verses in the Bible that speak about predestination...
Ephesians 1:11
11In him we were also chosen, having been predestined (proorizo) according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
1 Corinthians 2:7
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined (proorizo) for our glory before time began.
Romans 8:29-30
29For those God foreknew he also predestined (proorizo) to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
The word proorizo means...
1) to predetermine, decide beforehand
2) in the NT of God decreeing from eternity
3) to foreordain, appoint beforehand

Calvinism states,
"We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined within 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" (Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedia, cited in http://www.biblestudy.org/question/predest.html).
The end of which is, that those predestinated , redeemed, and adopted ones, should be to the praise and glory of God,

Christians would probably want to urge us Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") to understand
the concept of predestination in their Bible better. Well we would also like you to
understand our concept of predestination in Islam better. So stop attacking Islam for
things that can be rebounded against you.

Most of the Bible's books and gospels were written by mysterious people!
Jesus mentioned Muhammad by the name in the Bible.
Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
