I believe that the idea of Predestination is a false and misinterpreted doctrine.
If Predestination is true, then God is an enemy. If Predestination is true, God is the creator of chaos, sin, agony, pain, and misfortune. If God designed what we know as existence with the intention that certain people would not go to heaven per HIS will, He alone is responsible for that, not us. This contradicts the very Gospel of Christ.
If God, in His Glory and Omniscience, planned out the entirety of the universe to an unbreakable T without free will to make our own choices against Him, then He is the reason, not Satan, of all sin and chaos existing in our world today. This completely contradicts scripture on many levels. God Himself would have to be the author of all manner of sorrow and struggle rather than it being a direct result of our sinful nature.
If God created man specifically to sin, and created specific men to sin and not be forgiven, He must be the Devil. If this were true, all sin and death in the world would be personally orchestrated by God Himself, making God the reason for our sin.
The Bible says that Satan, and thus our sin nature because of his deception of the first man and woman, are the reason for sin in our world, not God. So to insinuate that Predestination is true, is to insinuate the Bible contradicts itself and is therefore flawed and false.
Therefore, Predestination must and has to be a false and misinterpreted doctrine.
Verses to back up this claim and idea:
"Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man" James 1:13
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." 1 Corinthians 14:33
"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Corinthians 5:21
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Sin entered by man, not God)
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Perfection insinuates lack of corruption, therefore sinless, and incapable *because of James 1:13* of causing any man to sin)
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever shall believeth in Him, shall not perish, not have eternal life." John 3:16 (God loves the world. How can true love from God be shined upon man if that same God condemned specific people to go to hell?)
"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:17 (God sent a Savior, not an enemy, nor sin. He saved us from OUR sin, not His sin)
