Going in circles Eh!.. I admit its hard to play what if I knew the future.. Would be like watching a video tape. or DVD...

The problem with that analogy is that everything is scripted and the actors are not saying anything of their own but simply playing out their assigned act.

There is no freedom in it and if there is no freedom then our sin is only an act, which makes it a necessary part of the choreography of the Heavenly Broadway Show, indeed a divine soap opera.

That, in an off itself, would not be bad. The bad part comes in when we find out that the actors, who were obeidently acting out their assigned roles, are convicted of them and some are even thrown in jail for all eternity!

In other words, we are led to believe that we are actually responsible for what we do because it is not an act preordained by God but our choice. And we bear full responsibility for it.

I don't mean a HollyWierd production silly.. I mean a spiritual video tape of your life.. and events surrounding your life.. Is your life scripted?.. or does it just happen.. according to your choices?.. The actors in your life are neither scripted nor casted, "probably".. UNLESS most people you run into are PUT THERE by God.. INCLUDING ME..

In which case, be careful boy, my message might just be cooked up just for you.. You know, to stimulate your imagination.. (removing glasses) tapping fingers..
