do you believe in WHAT EVER WILL BE WILL BE? ( Archived) (26)

God has predestined what we will freely do, in regards to our eternal destiny. However,our choices will determine our outcome in the end. God bless!

so,where the Heck is your Free Will then?

God allows man to have free will. We are allowed to make choices, good or bad. Yes, God has an individual plan for each person, but we are free to make choices whether we will follow that plan or not. If we follow God's plan, our life will be a good one and we wind up with a happy eternity. If we choose not to follows God's plan for our life, oh well, you had your chance.

Someone explained it this way: "If God doesn't exist, then I have lost nothing in believing in Him - we would simply die and go into eternity. From dust to dust, with no consequences. But, just suppose for one second that God really does exist. That means that there is God, heaven, and hell. And eternity is a long, long time."
Hell is a horrifying place, and to be there for eternity would be unimmagineably awful. There are more verses in the Bible talking about hell than about heaven, because God is so urgent about warning people about hell.

Before the world even existed, God predestined certain people to be saved and to do His work here on earth. One great example is the Apostle Paul who met God on the road to Damascus (in the form of a bright light.) Paul is the very best example of a converted Christian, and he accomplished more for Christianity than almost any other man that's ever lived on earth. Others who are not necessarily predestined to be saved are also free to choose to follow God. It's their choice.

By the wzy, for the record, que sara sara (whatever will be will be) is totally contrary to what the Bible teaches. It's an either/or deal.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. Nothing is by chance. All the people you meet each day (people in the store, people driving, people walking down the street, seekers who want to learn about one's faith, etc.), all these people are put in your path each day for a reason. We may not know what that reason is, but God does.

Maybe that person on the street that looks depressed just needs a smile or a hug. The harried grocery clerk that just got yelled at by a customer might need an encouraging word. That person who just had an accident might need someone to stay with him/her until help comes. They are all around us - people with needs, some simple, some more comples, but they all are put in our path for a reason.
