[mysteriousNicholas]

Do you think God's or God make life predetermined for most souls like a predetermined aka open secret WWE wrestling match decided results ahead of time on the card.

Thanks to all insightful answerers - -' and my brain can only answer simply as - "bro I don't work here" aka or "it's above my pay grade" 📚 Book smart emojis 📚📚📚📖 lol 😆 so thank you, smarter people than I 👀

God is known for having perfect timing. He is known for having a plan and a will for our lives. The book of life has our names in it before we are born. He is mysterious. He even allows satan access to Heaven. He does this because satan asked God to prove that humans were unneccessary for worship for they are easy to decieve and sin. Jesus is the salvation for our sins because he died so we could continue to prove satan wrong. In the end, satan no longer has access to Heaven, he is locked out, and he brings terror for a short time. Jesus will save his believers in the end. Very mysterious. Best to love Jesus.

It's predetermined from our view because God can see past presents and future, he knows what you're going to do and where you're going to go because he already seen it. Your thought process, seen, so yeah it's predetermined because all we can do is live in the moment.

[Skyros]

You’re forgetting free will. We always have a choice because God can’t and won’t tempt anyone.

[Wuai201]

No I'm not we do have free will because we're living in the moment, but even if God told us to do something he knows whether we'll do it or not because he's outside our representation of time.

[Skyros]

When it comes to people nothing is predetermined. God doesn’t make anyone get saved, He just knows who will. Remember Lot in the Sodom and Gomorrah story? He pleaded with God to spare the cities if he could find ten good men so God let him and he failed to find ten. So he asked if he could find one good man so God let him and he failed again. The point is God knew , before Lot uttered a word, that Lot couldn’t find any good man or woman in those cities, but He gave Lot the opportunity to see it for himself. I hope this helps. If it does don’t thank me, thank God.

I think If God does know everything when I get there i want him to say I didn't see that coming. In life every time someone told me the way something was suppose to go my goal became to prove them wrong. I don't think life is about following fate. I think fate is about making the life you want.

If you read the ancient text the giants first took caveman and try to mate with them and genetically change the d n a. But they couldn't get it right. They came close. That's when God came in to the picture genetically gave us part of his d n a and his image to be more like the gods. With an s' and I believe that he gave us everything that we need to succeed. I believe we all have We all have a destiny
I think we all have a frequency that is set to become the best that we can become

But through our parents through schools through our friends to life and drama that all changes and we must find our way back.

In order to do so, you must love yourself. You must become one myself. Become one with others become one with this universe

You can have and do anything in this world that you want

But there's one big dilemma. It's called drama is evil. Drama will hold you back because you're caught up doing something that doesn't even matter. You have to find yourself love yourself become the best you can become help others do the same and then love this universe, our God, and you will be set on a frequency of you can do and have anything else in this world that you want.

i don't see any actions of god but i don't quite understand the reason for life with or without god. it doesn't make sense to me either way. and i think nothing is pre determined. events unfold as they happen. they can be planned to a certain degree but you can never account for all the variables.

[mysteriousNicholas]

There certainly are maths theories that if there's a quantifiable number of events or large numbers theory like lotteries, eventually like a psychic making cold guesses, eventually a guess has to be right eventually a big bang causes the Milky Way that's why we humans exist and surely lol there's enough random chances out there to say there is a God or there was a God lol 😂😆 come to think of it maybe God died at the Big Bang? Hmm there's something you don't rationalise everyday - maybe God did exist. Or still exists. Now of course a Deity being used loosely as a term here 🥳😈🥳😈 praise you Devil lol out there lol "the snake survived"

[genericname85]

there's maths that helps you figure out your chance of winning but that doesn't tell you if you're gonna win or not. caue there's lottery winners even though the chances are one in a million so yeah.

[mysteriousNicholas]

But the jackpot question is - what are the mathematical odds there is or was, a deity ⌚

[mysteriousNicholas]

A god, a craftsman, a watchmaker who put the universe ticking along ⌚⏰

[genericname85]

well the same way you can't proof that superman exists, you can't proof that god exists. cause they're fictional ideas. not real things. and you can't ever proof that something "does't" exist. that's why things that don't exist won't ever be proven not to exist so people still believing in those things can keep believing. the problem is: of all the things that don't evidently exist, why are you believing some of them (like god) to exist but not others (like superman)?

[mysteriousNicholas]

@genericname85 I often prefer the "Russell's teapot" 🫖 analogy imagery

[genericname85]

how does russles teapot apply here?

[mysteriousNicholas]

@genericname85 it's like disproving god is arguing there could be a teapot in space 🫖 but we'll just never know for sure 😅😜

[genericname85]

disproving the existence of anything is impossible. doesn't matter if god or a teapot in space so i still don't get how this applies here. i was talking about the absurdity of believing one unproven thing and not believing another unproven thing. like why believe god exist but not believe that unicorns, superman, bigfoot, the yeti and so on exist. what's the logic here? or is there no logic and it's just an arbitrary sujective decision?

[mysteriousNicholas]

That's a fair and valid point -' and my brain can only answer simply as - "bro I don't work here" aka "it's above my pay grade" 📚 Book smart emojis 📚📚📚📖 lol 😆

[genericname85]

i guess all of us have to operate under a certain ammount of uncertainty cause we as a species don't know everything and likely won't ever know everything xD i think the "i don't know man" attitude is probably the only somewhat logically coherent argument for a believe in god. cause at leasts that's honest and not trying to claim shit or act as if stuff is true they can't show to be true (aka lying) xD

[BadApple69]

There is a plan. But we have free will which can alter plans. I believe God gets things rolling but we can follow the plan or not. If we always take the right path the plan will work out. If we stray from the path we will change the outcome.

[Hellraiser1984]

No because I don't believe any gods exist. If they do they are cruel and sadistic beings. They do nothing but torture us and see us as playthings. They don't help anyone.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Therefore the Greeks, Romans, Vikings and Others, can't be wrong - the gods, or deities, are as happy and as cruel can be, as humans at their best and at their worst - 🧐😃😅

[WonderingManII]

I believe that God that works in mysterious ways, but I don't think life is pre-determined.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@WonderingManII unless God or gods servants or angels says "make it so, number one" lol star trekking 🌌🚀

[SolitarySolace]

God works in mysterious ways

[mysteriousNicholas]

@SolitarySolace "and the good lord certainly does provide" ; there's so many great lines 🙏

[LiamJHayden]

On some level, yes, but in a way our finite minds will ever comprehend, no.

[FreyaRed]

Fate is an illusion and gods don't care

[strateguy632]

It isn’t.

[stayorgo]

Surprise me

[Slim57]

Yeah
