None of what you said changes the fact that your destiny is to die. It is given unto man once to die and after this the judgment.
Our sin (death) is our predicament by choice.
Within that destiny you find daily opportunity to exercise your free will.
Which affects our destiny. :)
"I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life." [Isa 38:5]
It is the same with the saved or the lost.
Indeed. "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
It's what we choose that leads us to God or to hell.
It's what we choose that determines if we've been chosen for heaven or hell.
Know a family in Ohio that raised Charolais cattle. Every now and then, one gets selected to remain a bull. He gets the pasture, the cows, and a long life. The others are rubber-band steers who get the grass, the butcher, and the grinder.
What's he see in the ones that get to be bulls?
