[QUOTE="ScottA, post: 68556026, member: 278786"] The books that God is said to open, are opened because they are...now being written? No, because they are already written. But it is not as it would seem. It is not that you have a choice, as if you could just go easy on yourself and just roll with whatever. No. You/we may not know it until it happens, but we are who we are [already]...and we will do what we will do. So, if you are not the type to take things lying down, then you will get up...'cause that's who you are [already]. Understand something: History, is...His story...God's story. You/we are characters in that story. He knows the story. You/we are just hearing/living it for the first time. Let me ask you something: How's your story going? Just how would you like the remaining chapters to go, to end? So, you either stand up, or lie down...not because it's a choice...but because, it's NOT a choice...you are who you are...and you ARE going to do what you will do. Understand something more: God's story, the one that is written and the books are closed, 'cause they are finished already...that you are just hearing/living for the first time? He made it up. That is what "created" means. Oh, and He made it in His image too. It's a picture. Let there be light? Lights, camera, action! Like that. Or rather, like this: Time is an illusion, matter is energy (Light), and space is a void. That is what the universe is made up of. But there is "good news"...and you have probably heard it: He sent His [only] begotten...STOP. What is "only begotten" mean? It means...we are written in this story...in pencil...UNLESS we take a serious good look at that good news. But, hey, we are who we are, and we CAN'T HELP but do what we will do...and it will all be fine. Relax. [/QUOTE]
