Did God Predestine Jesus to be Killed?

Calvinist Proof-Texts Answered

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.” (Acts 2:23)

Did God Predestine Jesus to be Killed?

“Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God” (1 Thessalonians 2:15)

“But now ye seek to kill me.... Ye do the deeds of your father.... If God were your Father, ye would love me.... Ye are of your father the devil.” (John 8:40, 41, 42, 44)

“....this One given to you by the before-determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you having taken by lawless hands, having crucified Him, you put Him to death.” (Acts 2:23; Green's Literal Translation)


Commentary: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son(John 3:16). God gave the gift of His Son. This was predetermined. The murder itself was not God’s predetermined plan. Greek scholar, Christopher Wordsworth wrote, “God decreed the salvation of the World by Christ, but He did not command or approve the means by which that consummation was brought about.”(The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: in the Original Greek, with Notes and Introductions, Volume 2, p. 57). Thankfully, God was able to make Satan’s act of hatred work against him.
