Do you hold your life in your own hands? (revised)?

Question

Can you control your heart beat? Can you make it stop and start again at will? Can you turn one hair on your head black or white at command? Can you prevent yourself from getting sick or dying? Are you in your own hands , today? Man, since the begining of existance has been trying to control their own lives and has failed greatly.We have the knowledge to make the journey to grave more comfortable but we still cannot stop the journey. So ask yourself(businessmen, doctors, lawyer, politicians, and everyone) : Who's really in charge here? Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind? Job12: 9-10

Answer 1

God has a plan - I'm just part of it.

Answer 2

First part of your question
No I can not do any of these thing and neither did Jesus
My life is not in my hands, its in the hands of the rich and powerful, we can not control that either

Man, since the beginning of existence has been trying to control their own lives and has failed greatly.
Since the beginning man has fought to exist, how hard must it have been to just arrive on earth and no nothing, was god caring for them or did the monkeys care for them?

Who's really in charge; You are in charge of your mind, because you can not stop what you do not control

The human has suppressed his animistic ways to some decree, but man is no more than any other animal, even with all its great minds, still they are unwilling to change, the few in charge of this world has deceived us all with stupid knowledge, that we can not control, so god did not create us with the intention of bring us to heaven, we are here to help the animal kingdom, we humans are not special

Answer 3

So I'm supposed to accept it's some god in a book only a third of the world takes as gospel??.

Congratulations, you win the Lamest Argument of the Week Award.

Christians should really lay off trying to use logic, stick with the faith procalmations

Answer 4

The reason people turn away from faith is because of the people using the word of god to grab them by the ankels(so the can't run away)hold them upside-down(so they become confused, scared ,and controlable) then shake them until every last penney falls from there pocket....thats when they use the lords word to hit you over the head until you learn how to use it to grab anothers ankels!!!As long as there is a penney to be made profit off of satan will have his hand on our shoulder helping us not stumble and loose site of it!

Answer 5

Control is an illusion. People kill every day, but does that mean they control their victims? No one, no thing, no spirit controls anything.

For you holy rollers, God supposedly gives you free will, therefore he doesn't control you. Nothing does. You are your own agent, and you can do your best to stick to whatever course you choose, but it some idiot drunk driver decides to crash into you while you cross the street, the fact is brought to light that there is no controlling one's life. There is just living it...

Answer 6

That does not make me believe in a deity anymore now that I've read that than before I did. We are born, we age and we die.. that perhaps is the most absolute life will ever get. We have freewill there is no one in control.

And yes I can control my own heartbeat.. I'm sure you've heard of biofeedback haven't you?

Answer 7

I will just live my life the way God wants me to and i will just live one day at a time and i say i have half control of my life and most of it God controls like 50/50

Answer 8

i do believe in god but your proof there is fairly weak
i can control my heart beat
i can prevent myself from getting sick to an extent
i can heal my body
i am in my own hands and i can speed up or decrease my own ageing process and time of death
ultimately the only thing i cannot prevent is my body dying in the end
