Disqualifying the previous two posts: The coexistence of volition and predestination

Part 3

The preceding two posts are completely false…yet they are true. I can’t explain it.

I finally understand the doctrine of divine decrees (regarding predestination) and why Calvinism is wrong (yet the confusion is understandable as explained in my previous posts). I see it clearly in spite of the fact I’ve not believed in God for seven years now (another example of needing to be on the other side to see things clearly).

Those who wrote the Bible were certainly intelligent people, but the book was not God-inspired. The stories are myths to illustrate what can be observed in nature.

In spite of being able to make educated guesses about the future, we really can’t see the future, but the notion that someone (God) can justifies the idea that everything “follows a set path”…which is true, but it’s something we can only know in hindsight, whereas in religion (Christianity) we can take comfort in believing it was known before the fact and destined to happen.

It’s like, predestination is true, but you have to not believe it in order for it to be true.

You have to believe you have a choice, whether it’s true or not.


What I'm saying is not something to trust or believe in. You have to see it for yourself.
