> 1 Peter 2:
(7) Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But > to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has > become the cornerstone,"
(8)and, "A stone that causes people to > stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they > disobey the message--**which is also what they were destined for**. Reading the English verse, it leads me to think that it's about Double Predestination. Where verse 7 becomes like this :
*Because I predestined you to be in Heaven
Then you believe
Because you believe
Then the stone is precious to you.* And verse 8 becomes like this :
*Because I predestined them to be in hell
Then they don't believe
Because they don't believe
Then the stone becomes a stumbling block to them* But when I read the verse from the Bible on my own language, the verse's sentences have the sense something like this : *If someone obey My Words
Then he/she will believe the stone
Then the stone is precious to him/her
If someone disobey My Words
Then he/she won't believe the stone
Then the stone is a stumbling block to him/her
* So, the sentence _**which is also what they were destined for**_ in the Bible of my language is not like that in English one. In my language, *"they were destined for"* in verse 8 has a sense that if the "IF" criteria by an external party (someone who disobey) is fulfilled, then the "THEN" follows ---> they are "destined" to stumble. While in English language, it seems to me that it shows Double Predestination, starting from the *"Because I"*. My question:
Is the Bible in my language gives a wrong translation ? ---------- I just searched from the internet, and found a link which telling on what God says : > Peter also speaks of those to whom Christ is the precious Cornerstone > of salvation and those who stumble against him to their eternal > destruction; and of those who are reprobate, he says clearly that > **they were “predestined” to disobey the word and so to perish** (1 Pet. 2:6-8). So, it is the *"Because I"*.
