In the text it states‚ “Amen‚ I say to you‚ one of you will betray me‚ one who is eating with me” (Mark 14:18). Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him‚ turn him over for money. This leads to the question‚ why did Jesus not confront his betrayer and condemn him? Jesus could have stopped Judas from capturing him‚ which would have spared his life.

In this paper‚ I will be discussing the different views of the Doctrine of Election (or predestination). There are many different views on this subject‚ but I will only talk about the Wesleyan and the Calvinism views.
