Ah, thank you. I have always thought (as someone who was not brought up Lutheran, but is sort of Lutheran-by-marriage) predestination can be dodgy in terms of practical implementation for how people regard it, leaving completely aside the theology, and it's interesting to see that play out in practice.

If God predestined the path a person chose, thus Friedrich concluded from predestination, then God had also formed a man's character, so how could another man's will change this character?

Hm. I don't know that I entirely agree with you (Fritz) logically speaking, although I see your overall point :P
