do you believe that our birth and death dates are pre-determined?

Question

so if it is indeed your time to go, there really isn't a way to escape death? and this explains the freak accidents and similar things that happen in life? i'm curious about your personal thoughts regarding pre-determination of life & death.

does having a lot of faith aid in the arisal of unexplainable miracles?

Answer 1

I believe that when we are born that a script is written for our lives. You can try to change the course of that life, but only very little. I liken life to that of a great river which flows in one direction, and it is beyond us to try and reason why certain things happen to us. I believe that at the time of birth, we also register the how, where and when we leave this earth.

Answer 2

A human being is always living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. For them your life is just a game. Human beings are ruled by spirits but humans are taught to control and rule the spirits which even the people who teach do not know. Spirits possess people according to the activities, talks and mental state of the human beings. This is an all time phenomena occurring in all humans. Human beings are always under the influence of spirits. Often thinking and talking about bad subjects or bad imaginations even for fun can take serious turns on one who think and talk. Spirits cannot possess people without their willingness. They need at least a tiny reason. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. They predetermines your death too. If the death is by natural cause they can know and tell you too if you have ability to talk to them. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. A human being is not a single spirit. All knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything are spirits or invisible elements. Even thoughts are not your own. A human being is just a robot made of different materials (flesh, bones, tissues etc.,) and a toy of the spirits for their games.

Answer 3

Yes, I believe you are given a predetermined birth date and a date when you will die.
For example a person who is a health nut, exercises and eats well sees the doctor and dies at like 40 from a heart attack. Then there are the people who drink , smoke, eat anything they want and live till their 90 something. It makes no sense to me. I've heard of people who went to the doctor and was told they'll live another 20 years or so and drop dead that day.
So when I go to the doctor for a check up and they want to put me on cholesterol meds I tell them no. When my number is up its up.

Answer 4

I am faithful, but pre-destined or pre-determined ideologies about our lives and our deaths are pure hogwash, and the one example that proves it is, is "unpredictability." For this to be true, the ENVIRONMENTAL factors would have to be under human control, of which is obsurd. Life may have been given by "entities" of whatever we wish to believe, but "destiny" and what happens in our own lives is "determined" by our own decisions, whether good or bad. We can have FAITH in that of the past and believe in the holy helping us, but when it comes to the life we live, WE are those which should be mature enough to understand the consequences of our own mistakes or our own efforts made for rewards. What are brains for anyway, if we can't have faith in "ourselves," knowing there was someone smart enough to give it to us......

Answer 5

Science indicates that the Genome includes indicators for the end of life. The Genome is what issues the repair instructions and if it is programmed to allow your kidney or liver to shut down you are in tough scrapes.

Also if it's not your time the Guardian Angels will do their best to keep you out of harms way, although you can fight against this due to free will.

Answer 6

I do believe that God has predetermined every aspect of our lives. To say otherwise, I think we shortchange what the nature of God is. He is eternal, in both directions, past and future, and He is sovereign, meaning that He is in control of all. He also loves us more than we can comprehend, so having my life in His control does not scare me; it comforts me.
Even though I chuckle at the comedian's reference to his birth certificate having an expiration date, I see truth to the joke. The expiration date must be in "invisible ink." ;-)

Answer 7

No....I believe that God knows the dates,but works around our choices that determine to some degree both birth and death.....I do not believe in the chiche..Oh well, it was just his time to go. Our choices affect every area of our lives.

Edit...I just saw Father K's answer...and I agree 100%

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

No. NOTHING is pre-determined.... and I do mean NOTHING.

sorry.

The biggest freak-accident is that 'god belief' has caught on in such a way that it has. What explains that?
the gullibility and stupidity of the human race.

Answer 10

God knows everything and yes, he knows when and how we will be born and die. He knows all, number of hairs on your head to who and when you marry and such things as that. He also already knows if you are going to live for him or if you are going to live for Satan.
