Freedom vs. Predestination...Freedom vs. Predestination al Affiliation Freedom vs. Predestination We can summarily the difference between freedom and predestination as: predestination being the hand that fate has dealt us while free will is the choice and action that we take with that hand. Predestination and freedom are two sides of the same coin, and a theological context provides an apparent distinction.
