Destiny !

Destiny in our hands or God's !!! If God's, why bother creating ???

Whether it's the good path or the evil path, it's all up to us, for God didn't create robots, he created people who are able to think for themselves. But I also think that God gives us a helping hand from time to time and that He is always there to give us the peace of mind that we sometimes need.; ▶ Reply to This

Spirit's always there to give us faith that we are going to be alright, as I believe we are only given what we can handle.; ▶ Reply to This

1. There is no such thing as good and bad, we classify things that way, by simply drawing lines, thus creating separations. We call these dualistic separations "good" or "bad", "here"-"there", "up"-"down". We have the choice to do "good" or "bad" things, and God doesn't really care, to him we are safe in this universe. We create our happiness or suffering, we can change the course anytime we decide. If we create suffering for us and others, we may stop doing so in any given moment. God speaks through silence, if we spend some time in silence many answers will come.
2. Some wise man, I thing he is known as St. Maximus the Confessor, said that God embraces our way, because it always leads towards him, and if we chose another way, God embraces this road too.
3. Technically we attract everything that happens to us. We do it by our aware or non-aware choices. My experience show that we can only chose a certain road, and if that road is taken by heart, than things happen in a way much bigger than we can ever create, deserve or plan.

Be Well!

God has created us free,and no one has the right to inslave us or chooses our destiny but him,make sure that our destiny is in the god's hand because there is what we call a law of nature which is made by god ofcourse otherwise there will be no order if we can choose our distiny ,still we can be free but always with god's control.; ▶ Reply to This

Destiny may be seen either as a fixed sequence of events that is inevitable and unchangeable, or that individuals choose their own destiny by choosing different paths throughout their life.

See you soon; ▶ Reply to This

Without free will, we a just robots, and robots cannot love. Our destiny in this life is to live like christ, to enjoy his communion. Once you give yourself to christ, the answer to your question becomes too obvious, I have to create, I have to love, I have to live because each day I become more christlike I exerience greater love and compassion, and freedom and understanding. Your question hints at roboticism, I would be very careful to live a life without the loving presence of christ and god.; ▶ Reply to This
