Fate and Destiny: a philosophy thread

scaeagles · 12-14-2005, 10:07 AM

I do not beleive in fate, destiny, or preordination. I believe in the concept of free will.

Why? Well, I suppose that is not an easy answer.

I am a basic Bible believing, Jesus worshipping Christian. I believe that God exists and has always existed. I believe he exists at all points in time. Being that, he knows exactly what will happen in my life. Does this mean it is preordained? Not in the least. I have free will to make choices. God just knows what choices I am going to make.

Though raised in a "Christian" family - meaning your basic suburban church going family - my family situation actually drove me away from any practical application of faith for several years. Various personal experiences and revelations brought me back to it.

I think I answered the OP questions, so I'll leave it at that. I certainly have more than my share of religious/philosophical thoughts which I have no doubt no one wants to read about.
