..my DEvine mystery.
If God knows everything, is my fate to heaven or hell already predetermined?
God knows all; he knows every decision I made and will make in life. He knows every threshold and experiences I will go through. So technically, my fate to heaven or hell was predetermined.
But I thought that I was given free will? It should be up to ME to make the right decisions in life, so I can have eternal life in heaven. But, if God already knows that will happen.. then how am I to choose it for myself.
What about people that do not have the opportunity to choose to follow. For example, babies that are aborted aren’t given the opportunity to choose to follow God. Why do they go to hell? Since Jesus said you will be saved if/when you’re baptized. What about the different levels of heaven and hell? What if someone sins and confesses, every week? Does the level of sin matter, as long as you forgive? What if people sin because they know they can be forgiven as soon as they confess? What if I’ve done well for myself and others, but haven’t confessed a small sin before I die. Will the one that committed crimes and confess have the upper hand and have a better eternal life?
…damn Philosophy class. goodnight.
