There are so many simple things that havent been figured out even by geniuses. It is only until they do that one wonders why we never thought about that before.

Wrong. You are only predistined by your own actions and not God's. Here is how you guys' arguments is shallow. The govt constructs roads where thousands die from every year. Knowing that people are going to die on those roads, why does the govt go ahead and construct them? Because not all people will die on those roads. They will be used by many for good purposes. On the same note, you may go to hell, but you may have helped many go to heaven while alive. There are many pastors that will go to hell while the people they preached and baptized march to heaven. Simple as that!


I think the problem with yall is that you do not know what predistine is. Predistine means to destine, decree, determine, appoint, or settle beforehand. There is a world of a difference between Predistine and Omnscience which means having infinite awareness, understanding, and insight, possessed of universal or complete knowledge.

Being omniscient, God knows which path YOU will predistine yourself into. Gitch?
