I believe our all lives are predestined. Like the names of the ones that go to heaven are written down in the book of the lamb. God lived with us amongst us with everyone with his own free will, before our earth was made and it turned out, that some angels (including Satan) and people were against god, so he created this predestined earth and life on it to enjoy us in his eternal being. He created this "film" with us to enjoy himself in his eternal times. Everyone has his fate on this earth and beyond. Basically people are being punished, blessed or just unfold in their true nature, like they would have done in paradies with god. Do you believe that you are going down without Jesus?

I do believe in predestination, there's us and someone else inside of us guiding our steps. I can say it as I met it/him, I don't believe in god as it's in the holy bible but I know it does exist, I took some kind of psychedelic drugs once and beside the coloured effects and such, something happened, something purely emotional, I didn't exist anymore, I was brainless and someone told me what to do. The trip went wrong and my body wasn't able to get over it. I lost my mind and someone told me: she's gonna call, now tell her to come as quickly as possible or you won't come back.
Her is related to my girlfriend who was away for the week end. She called shortly after and I asked her to come back, I was worried because my mind was so messed up, I couldn't see the past anymore, only the future in a short range, I came to the point zero, I felt like I was touching infinity and neant at the same time. Then I thought of the issues to that trip, am I mad ? am I dead ? I wanted to do good around me and what all this will leave in this world ? A crying girlfriend and family... Then I've seen ways, ways into parallel world related to the issues I could expect. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't death but somehow I saw the choice of the issues without being able to choose anything. The guy/thing inside of me made it for me, I didn't want it but I did it as it was the only solution.
So... Survival instinct or anything else ? I don't know but your choices are depending on something else. There's a limit to what you can choose.
I wouldn't want that experiment for anybody (as it lasts approx. 6 hours, 6 hours where you're lost in your own mind) but it's after all the best thing I never had in my life. My life changed radically since that day, a kind of mind cleansing, I'm a better man today. I've read some things after on the net and I'm not the only one to have had that kind of thing while tripping, but it's rare to get to that point, it's called "ego death" if you want to google it and yes, it's kind of what happens...
It's hard to explain with words, even harder as english is not my mother tongue but if you have any question, you can ask me ;) I'll be pleased to explain.

I understand the concept of "predestination" to contradict the concept of "free will". I believe it is abundantly clear that we have free will. If the Almighty could have made us without our free choices without ruining His fine creation, certainly He would have set things up so Sin wouldn't happen, and The Messiah would not have had to die. Therefore I understand the common thoughts about "predestination" to be error. The Almighty is totally able to cope with any possibility. (even that terrible event that happened) Salvation is offered, but only in the Messiah YAHOSHUA. (His name means YHVH is my Savior. Acts tells us there is salvation in no other name!)

Great start with your new theology, now you just have to sell it. Does it match with what the Bible says about predestination? You are using a Bible, aren't you?

Wauw - that is a strange fantasy.
I don't believe in predestination. I believe in making my own choices and decisions, thank you very much.

As a Muslim, I believe in both freewill and predestination.
