 Just to note that Christian theology does not teach "determinism" but "predestination". The concepts are different in a number of respects. For one thing, predestination is the work of a benign, omniscient, omnipotent, and purposeful God, where as the concept of 'determinism' implies that 'nature' unreasoning forces, or evolutionary or psychological factors shape or determine what we do, but do so impersonally and without any particular purpose
