So, I have no choice because "...that doesn't make any difference"? So my life is dictated by "destiny"? Thought you guys believe in God's gift of free will and self-determination?
Be happy in your innocence. I wish I had it...I've tried. Rest easy, fellow Traveller. Sorry if I got a little heated.
The “choice” that is involved in one’s eternal destiny ... is a choice of whether the person will be judged (1) on the basis of Jesus Christ’s righteousness [and God says he was perfectly righteous in all ways], or (2) judged on the basis of that person’s actions and choices throughout their life on earth [and God says that we have all failed in that regard].
That choice is enacted through either the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and their personal Savior ... or ... rejection of that. That is the choice ... and that choice means either being judged on the basis of Christ’s righteousness or on the basis of one’s own actions and deeds throughout their life on earth.
THERE ... is the critical choice for one’s eternal destiny.
