Hi, Are we born with a destiny unknown to us or are we born free to fend for ourselves? | ||||||
2 | SEEKING FOR THE TRUTH | Bible general Archive 4 | EdB | 237942 | ||
Through out scripture we see man's freedom to make his own decisions that effect his destiny. However I believe God knows the choices we will make and has incorporated the choice, the consequence and the effects of those choice into his plan. The fact that God knows our destiny does not effect our ability to freely make choices that effect our destiny. |

Hi EdB, Thank you for your response. I gather that you believe that God has made us to be according to HIS preset destiny for us.Then where is the "our ability to freely make choices that effect our destiny.Preset destiny isa one way traffic. | ||||||

I don't think I mentioned pre set destiny in any thing I said. I said man is freely able to make choices that effect his destiny. I did said God knows those choices before man makes them. That is not saying that God made the choice or forced man to make a certain choice only that God was aware of them. With the knowledge of what choice man will make God being God is able to incorporate man's choice into God plan. |

No apology needed. I think a fact many seem to forget is only creation is limited by time. God transcends time, the past, present and future are all God's reality. So the fact that God can see our future decisions does not require God to manipulate the situation to have those decisions come to pass. Prophecy is not a good guess nor a manipulation of events by God to have them fulfilled. They are part of God's reality just as our past is. |
