Which churches, denominations, groups etc don't believe in predestination?
A better question might be, what do different groups mean by the word, and how do they view it? It is, after all, a worldview thing.Which churches, denominations, groups etc don't believe in predestination?
Well, if you want to say more about it, but could you also say what the different denominations say... or at least the ones you are familiar with.A better question might be, what do different groups mean by the word, and how do they view it? It is, after all, a worldview thing.

That would explain the Fall, I guess?Some others say God can have control over whatever he chooses to have control over, but allows things to wander by themselves otherwise.
Not really. Apart from the notion that the Chain of Causality does not prevail, it is simply illogical that anything can happen apart from the causality of First Cause. There is no such thing as Chance. That is just "a placeholder for 'I don't know'."That would explain the Fall, I guess?
I'm not a philosopher, but does that mean that God has chosen everything, including the fall. I don't really understand..You would be hard pressed to show equal possibility of something not chosen, happening, compared to another option chosen, happening.
To fit out minds, Reformed theology says God has two wills. The obvious [command] and the hidden [plan]. Sins are rebellion to the command, or behind that, sin is simple rebellion against God himself. We know a little about the plan, but we have the command to follow. Satan and his followers are against both, but inevitably fit exactly what God planned all along. Has to be pretty frustrating!I'm not a philosopher, but does that mean that God has chosen everything, including the fall. I don't really understand..
What then is sin, in that context?

The Catholic Church permits a range of views on the subject of predestination, but there are certain points on which it is firm: “God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end” (CCC 1037). It also rejects the idea of unconditional election, stating that when God “establishes his eternal plan of ‘predestination,’ he includes in it each person’s free response to his grace” (CCC 600).Which churches, denominations, groups etc don't believe in predestination?
