Is THAT right?

Your all knowing god also knows my final eternal destination, right o777?

Your god knew this since the beginning of time, right?

Why would your god create me knowing I’ll have no control over that final destination?

I wouldn't waste a second trying to defend it. People come to it on their own, at their choosing. Or they reject it. It's a personal choice or responsibility.
So I guess saying that the christians who are on here defending it -- day after day -- are misguided.

Well Your God takes me to a vast library filled with living books of life, that are all the lives of people throughout all time & places future & past. Each book of life is a lesson & God places souls into individual books to live the life inside them & learn its lessons. Then God retrieves your soul & puts you into another book of life to live as someone else in some other time & place, & your soul learns the lessons of that life. Eventually your soul has gathered a full spectrum of life lessons from living a number of completely different lives.

God puts my soul into one book of life after another & I find myself living all different kinds of lives throughout time. He does this to educate me about what life on earth is. It is simply a lesson for the soul. God says the earth is a school where all souls are sent at some stage in their lives.

So people think it is not fair that their destiny is already mapped out. But it is just a lesson, a living lesson, for their soul, that they are being walked through. It is not their real life at all. Life on earth is less than the blink of an eye to God. It is all done to educate your soul & make you wise so you can live peacefully in Heaven with your brothers & sisters

You were created precious - and your actions ultimately benefit others, whether you know it or not.
You will see that you have FULL control of your destination. Your choice.
You will also know how little it would have taken on your part.

All of these things will be made clear to us once we're dead?

You go first.

Post 166.

with mans understanding God can never win.

In the OT it is said God destroyed all the wicked from off the earth and you guys complain about that, so now for those same people God looks like He is doing nothing and you complain about that.

Gods in a lose, lose situation with mans understanding.


The fallacy is there are other possible options.

I addressed that.

God didn't lose. He doesn't lose. That statement says more about man than God. And it's an opinion of a man. It's not God saying he will lose.

God was justified in both options. He can do what he wants with his creation. His creation has no ability or right to complain.
