And if God was also the alpha and omega, what is the purpose of Judgement Day? Especially when God had already pre-destinied each individual who shall remain with him and those who are condemned. Why is it that it is mentioned in the Good Books that he gave us human a choice? After all, the choice given, whether right or wrong, were all 'pre-destinated'. What's the point to have a choice anyway?

God in my MHO is an almighty being that we create in our own mind. Well I don't care what god said or what god decided for us because if there truely is some god that govern us than I'll say this .... He is a terrible administrator. Why ? for a parent to give birth to child (an alternate version of GOD create humans). the parent will first have to be responsible of the childs welfare and actions. So , look at it this way;
1, God did not save us from desease but human science and technology development did.(God ! what's the remedy to cure HIV and AIDS??? ..... no answer ........ waiting ....... still no answer)
2, If god gave us choice in life why should there be a destiny ? because there is no free will in destiny.
3, if God is almighty and perfect, his creations certainly isn't. (we humans and all his other creations.)
4, Why did God made us only to suffer life on earth only to die and enjoy "life" in Heaven or suffer in hell for eternity later on ? He could have made us all his heavenly childrens and live in heaven for all eternity.
ok with this few questions answered there is none but one logic, which is There is no god. Even if there was such a being ... let me be frank with you ... he has left this place a long time ago.
I don't mean to be rude to all christians or god worshipers but it's the fact that what we do PRE-determine our own future and whatever result that comes out of it may and may not be as we all expected.
Lord Buddha once said "Even the most sincere effort does not promise a fruitful return." and guess what ? he was only a mortal like you and me to know this truth ... it didn't make him a god to tell us this simple fact. So stop whining , live life as a responsible human and worship your god and deity with sincere heart.
Good book or whatever books were written by humans with the hands of man holding pen/pencils/brush/etc. with some idea they want to record down so that it will be kept "alive" for the future generations to continue his legacy.
I would LOVE to see a book being written on it's own (a.k.a Divine written infront of my own eyes to believe that it was the words of god .... of course that woudln't happen because god is so techologically advance he don't need a book ... )
ps, Sincere apologies to all those I may or may not offended unintentionally. Before you start sending me hate mails, I tell you this once more .. it was my MOST HUMBLE OPINION.
Signing out,
Hans

This is a comon misconception. While He is all knowing that does not take away our freedom. He just knows us so well. My mom explained it this way: If you baked a batch of cookies and told your kids not to eat one which one would anyways. That is easy Michael would and rebecka would yell at him for it. Now I didn't force him to do that I just KNOW him very well. Just Like god knows you very well. Choice is the most important part of the whole gospel plan. It was Satans plan to take away agency but Christ's plan to allow us to choose and if we mess up we can repent and come back. But it is always our choice Nobody can make you do anything

God did not just want something programed to love or worship him. If he wanted to he could have made us infallible, mindless beings that just continually praise him, but it would be like programing your computer to say "I love you" every second, you would get sick of it because it is not real love.
It might be compared to a farmer. When he plants seeds, he knows that some will perish. But he is anticipating the good seeds that will grow. Then at the end of days, he separates the good seed from the bad seed.

if the choices are pre-destined,He wouldn't have ask you to choose. though He advises on what choice to make that is why He is alpha and omega.He knows what is best for us.He's judgement comes when we make the wrong choice.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but are spiritual beings having a human experience. We need to remember that the battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers!! God created the heavens and earth and it is his decision on what happens here on earth and we, like good children, should just obey our Father, and not question him, as our thoughts are not his thoughts and our ways are not his ways!!

good question.
WE ARE PREDESTINED ACCORDING TO FOREKNOWLEDGE. That means that God predestined us, according to how we would individually use our free will (volition).
It is still our choices we are accountable for, God did not make our choice for us, but He allowed us to choose as we wanted too. You are predestined by the choices you will make on your own in the future.

If you live without Him then you'll be lost but if you live your life loving and believing in God then your destiny changes and you'll be saved
