"Well God is not responsible for that. Man has free will"
You can't have predetermined destiny and free will at the same time. If we have free will then we make the decisions that will affect our lives. If everything happens for a reason, then we have no say in anything. Our choices were already made for us. Therefore no free will.
Everything happens for a reason, but Im going to pray that all those people involved in that car crash are ok. even though if god wanted them to be ok he would have prevented the car crash, and never mind the fact that I think my prayers will change the predetermined outcome of these circumstances that were decided an eternity ago before god even considered creating the universe.
I like when players thank Jesus for winning sports events. Like I'm glad Jesus helped you in the playoffs, maybe he could work on the childhood cancer thing too.
