Hastings.. Do you have a special christian meaning
for ~predestination~ that differs from the regular
accepted understanding of the word?

Scripture was written in a time of many illiterates
and struggling semi-literates in society,. Even when
Bible was first mass printed there were many of the
same in society.. So I guess God in his genius went
and made it even harder for folks by giving the word
a new and different meaning just for the struggling
literacy Bible folk.. 😂

Romans 8:29 and 8:30
Greek text analysis and Strongs Concordance
show 'predestination' is rather straighforward
and how we normally understand it.
