Did God Predestine Wicked Men to Kill Jesus?

Calvinist Proof-Texts Answered

“For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. (Acts 4:27-28)

Did God Predestine Wicked Men to Kill Jesus?

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” (Acts 10:38)

“For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations and the peoples of Israel, were assembled against Your Holy Son Yahshua, whom You anointed, to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel before-determined to be done.” (Acts 4:27-28; Hebraic Roots Bible)


Commentary: “The things determined by God to be done, were what Christ was anointed to do, and not what his enemies were gathered together to do. They were gathered against him, and not to do what the counsel of God had determined. There is then, no proof here that God decreed any of the wicked actions of men.” (Luther Lee, Elements of Theology; or, an Exposition of the divine origin, doctrines, morals, and Institutions of Christianity, p. 160). Arranging the words differently in Acts 4:27-28 will lead us to this exact conclusion as is evidenced by the Hebraic Roots Bible above.
