Hey...
As an assignment for school my boys have to write a paper on the topic of fate. They are supposed to email friends and get input as per their ideas of fate, as they spend a bunch of time on the server, we decided that this would be an interesting place to solicit feedback as well.
According to Jared, destiny or fate doesn't exist because God created all the world and He knows what is going to happen in it, so instead of fate it is God deciding.
According to Nikolas, God predetermines the course of someone's life. We get to choose our path. (because we aren't God and we don't know everything..He does but He doesn't use that knowledge to influence how we choose)
*discuss* (please bear in mind that we are talking about a 12yo and a 14yo and this isn't supposed to be a deep philisophical/theological discussion, so if you could limit yourself to 3 sentences or less that would be great)
