Hi Charli I know the history of such topics like this very well but you should not feel unsafe to speak and discuss them because of that, I mean to understand the God's truth and to grow as both believers and people in general such debates and discussions are needed and should not be avoided from fear of what it will turn into. Besides so far it seems to be pretty civil and educational.
To be honest I never even took into account that predestination could be pointed to the office of a person rather than the salvation of the person, it certainly expands my own understanding and view of predestination and perhaps we have been too focused on the salvation aspect of predestination instead of turning our view to the calling or office of a person.
It certainly makes these verse make more sense to me
Galatians 1:15
But when God, who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
Psalm 139:15
My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Psalm 139:16
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
