Predestination (Once Saved, Always Saved)?

The religious doctrine that all events have been planned and ordered in advance by God. The religious doctrine that the soul of every person has been assigned from the beginning to Salvation or Damnation.

If all events have been planned and ordered by God or even allowed and or approved by God then that would mean Lucifer's fall and the chaos thereof was simply something God felt like doing because he was bored. If every soul has been assigned from the beginning to salvation or damnation why allow the damned to be born if there destiny is an enternal burning hell?

If God has predestined things in advance why do we read of God heartbroken and disappointed that he made man? Once again the scriptures were misinterpreted and many Jews, Chrisitans, and Muslims believe whatever happens to them is preordained by God. It was President Obama who once said "Our destiny is not written for us, but by us".

Great scholars and theologians of old tried their best to interpret God's voice to the human family and though its an exhaustive work its up to you and I to fill in the gaps, re-interpret the misinterpreted, and find what was lost in translation or withheld all together.

God does not take pleasure in sin and suffering. God does not allow us to suffer having foreknowledge of our suffering. God is reactive and proactive. God chose to send his Son into the world John 3:16 so that we would have hope. Jesus declared he is Alpha and Omega Revelation 22:13 the beginning and the end, the first and the last, but Satan is tavek Hebrew word for middle, bisection, sever, and between, because the Devil is in the details.

If all events have been planned and ordered in advance by God then why do we read of Jesus agonizing in the garden of Gethsemane Mark 14:32-50 asking for the cup of suffering to be removed? The fall of Lucifer changed all things and the course of future events. Even though there were Jewish, Greek, and Roman scholars none of them knew exactly where the Christ-child would be born.

It was the Magi of Persia Matthew 2:1-2 who believed in Zoroastrianism and studied astronomy and astrology leading them to the star in Bethlehem and the the Christ-child. What you must understand dear reader is that God is sovereign no matter what religious belief is practiced. There are certain amounts of TRUTH within Primitive Religion........> and amongst the Babylonians, Egyptians, Zoroastrians, Hebrews, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Medo-Persians, Asians, Greeks, Romans, Eastern Indians, Meso-Americans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

Most of us have been bombarded with all things 2012 which draws from a prophecy written by the Mayans three thousand years before Christ entrance into the world. Contrary to Hollywood, the 2012 Mayan prophecy deals with spiritual and mental renewal and awakening of the universe and the human family to coexsist as one. Its time we shift our thinking towards God and the universe. Its time we allow reason to be our guide as it relates to how we understand God and the universe we live in.

God once said "Come now, and let us reason together"............(Isaiah 1:18-20). This is where common sense comes in handy. The power, love, image, likeness, character, and or divinity of God is not something God doesn't want us to know of, on the contrary God wants us to know who and what he is the problem is most Laymen, Scholars, Ministers, Professors, and Pastors have failed to research all things!

Genesis 6:6-7
Reads: "And it repented the Lord that he made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them".

The above scriptures should clearly show you God does not know all things as it relates to human motivations, actions, deeds, intentions, and will in detail!

Repentance means to have a change of mind. God had a change of a mind that he made man. God's heart was grieved or in mourning, sorrow, deep distress that he made man. So now do you still believe God created all things knowing in advance what would happen from moment to moment? If you do then the god you believe in is someone who suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder. Why would your god be crying and grieving over things he knew would happen before time itself.

God has NOT planned and ordered things in advance, God has NOT assigned from the beginning the salvation or damnation of souls.....!
