PREDESTINES Meaning and Definition

1. Predestines, as a verb, refers to the act of determining or deciding beforehand the fate, outcomes, or destinies of individuals or events. It is often associated with the belief in predestination, a religious doctrine that asserts the existence of a divine plan or predetermined course for every person's life.

   In a theological context, to predestine means that God has already predetermined certain events or the eternal destinies of individuals, such as their salvation or damnation. This belief is found in certain branches of Christianity, like Calvinism, where it is understood that God has chosen certain people to receive His grace and eternal life, while others have been chosen to be condemned. It emphasizes the notion of divine sovereignty and the absence of individual free will in the matter of salvation.

   The concept of predestine can also be applied metaphorically to situations or events that are believed to be determined by fate or predetermined circumstances. It suggests that certain outcomes or destinies are fixed or unalterable, irrespective of personal choices or efforts.

   The word "predestine" is derived from the Latin term "praedestinare," which combines the words "prae" meaning "before," and "destinare" meaning "to determine" or "to set." Its usage implies the belief in an external force or influence that predetermines the course of events, often transcending human agency or control.
