Jewish philosophy stresses that free will is a product of the intrinsic human soul, using the word neshama (from the Hebrew root n.sh.m. or .נ.ש.מ meaning "breath"), but the ability to make a free choice is through Yechida (from Hebrew word "yachid", יחיד, singular), the part of the soul that is united with God, [citation needed] the only being that is not hindered by or dependent on ...
In that view, God's power, knowledge, and presence have no external limitations, that is, outside of his divine nature and character. [44] Besides, Arminianism view on God's way of expressing his sovereignty, i.e. his providence, is based on postulates stemming from God's character, [44] especially as fully revealed in Jesus Christ.

Predestination, in theology, is the doctrine that all events have been willed by God, usually with reference to the eventual fate of the individual soul.
