I'm not sure that I'll be finding any scholarly individual on Yea Forums to answer this well but here goes;
How does predestination and free will coexist in christianity? We supposedly have the freedom to choose our fate but everything is pre-determined by God? Why are we blamed for Adam and Eve sinning if everything is pre-planned and God made them despite knowing they would sin? Why do we go to hell and face God's wrath despite him knowing we would sin before we were born? How is it perfect justice if we were set up to fail from the start? Also where the fuck do I go to ask this question besides a coom board?
Look back at history. Are everyone's struggles meaningless because you know the outcome?

>Are everyone's struggles meaningless because you know the outcome? No, they are meaningless because we are meaningless, or atleast are without intrinsic meaning and instead imbue our lives with our own meaning.
Colton Morgan
What's important here is whether or not they're meaningless to you.
Evan White
Exactly, meaning is subjective.
Samuel Cook
So are they meaningless to you or not?
Samuel Collins
>everything is pre-determined by God? this is something every plebe believes but that is written nowhere. When they say God knows all they don't mean every tiny detail for the rest of time, they mean He knows everything currently happening in all the hearts mind and places.
Ethan Myers
People believe this shit but are quick to deny santa claus yea ok
Ethan Anderson
Because this is purgatory and we're choosing where to go when we exit purgatory.
Blake Stewart
Why would my opinions matter to you? Its not like you can conclude that a god exists using my subjective experience.
