Where does the GOP stand on Contraception?

[Brihaha]

The contradiction is curious. Either we make a choice, or our every thought and action is preordained. But it can't be both.

I believe it can be both. Our actions and choices will decide our fate. If I choose to believe Jesus is my savior I can receive eternal life in heaven. This is preordained. If I don't choose Jesus as my savior, I have still made a choice. Yet the result and consequences will be much different. And these consequences also seem preordained. God knows how we will choose even if we ourselves aren't sure. Not to mention the fact He inspires us with the Holy Ghost in our hearts. Free will can be a bane or a gift. Because humans are flawed creatures.

This life on earth may simply be an inconsequential test for believers in the long run. God lives outside of space and time. He is merely grooming us here on earth for our higher purpose in the hereafter. And thankfully we are not given to fathom all His minute details or plans. I wasted a lot of time trying to analyze everything when I was younger. I finally realized I was chasing the wind and I don't need to understand everything in the universe.
