Predestination, Scientific determinism and alternatives to such things

frogoon234 · May 12, 2019

I like to do Sola Scriptura but i fully understand when others refrain from this.

Scientific determinism is to put it "frankly", particles have properties that given a cause and effect
relationship in terms of interaction between those particles, if you were smart enough you can predict the future.

You know what predestination means. (see the west minster confession of faith online) (you have the internet right or are you one of those blessed people with 56k modem)

God is the great leveler of nations and people. By creating He caused everything or everyone that ever was or ever will be to exist in the precise way they occupy their allotted time. We should not think of ourselves in a lofty way or in a lesser way compared to others. Because each plays the score God has written for them. And we never edit or improvise or play differently from the reasons behind each choice he determined we would make.

“There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the LORD which will stand.” (Proverbs 19:21)

“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.” (Jeremiah 10:23)

Ecclesiastes chapter 7 says "do not be overly righteous or you will destroy yourself" (paraphrased we should all read it for ourselves). That being said it says in chapter 1 of Ecclesieastes that it was written by a pastor that is fallible (read chapter 1). This is an online forum. I'm required to pursue knowledge not, not be right everytime i say something.
