Detailed explanation-1: -Calvin’s belief in the uncompromised “sovereignty of God” spawned his doctrines of providence and predestination. For the world, without providence it would be “unlivable". For individuals, without predestination “no one would be saved". Calvin’s doctrine of providence is straightforward.
Detailed explanation-2: -From a Calvinist viewpoint, a person who has sinned was predestined to sin, and no matter what a person does, they will go to Heaven or Hell based on that determination. There is no repenting from sin since the most evil thing is the sinner’s own actions, thoughts, and words.
Detailed explanation-3: -John Calvin, a French theologian who lived during the 1500s, is probably the most well known proponent of predestination. The views taught by Calvin came to be known as ‘Calvinism. ‘ Predestination is a central tenet of Calvinist theology.
