so tonight, i had a series of long and short discussions with different people about this questions: "Does God choose who will go to heaven and who will go to hell?" this lead into a number of very interesting ideas about not only our role in creation, but also the very nature of God. Does he risk? does he hope? does he have faith? these are questions we don't normally think about and we pull away from asking such questions as predestination vs. free will because we've been told that there is no answer so we should just wait until we get to heaven.
true, we might not know for sure until we get to heaven, but i think it is necessary for us to think about these things while we're still alive. here's why: because we don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are. we all have opinions, even for things that have no sure answer. no matter what, these opinions will affect the way we see the world and through that, it will impact our actions.
so use your minds and try to tackle even the most complicated of questions that seem to have no answer at all. use the Bible as your reference to base your claims on. (you'd be amazed how fruitless discussions about God are without the use of the Bible) because these things are good for you and will grow you in wisdom and faith. i do not believe that there are questions too complicated for God.

ohhhh is that what you were talking about on thursday?
cool
yeah i was reading this one thing about your views of the world
it was like:
how do you see God? As a father? A teacher? A grandfather? A guide? Etc
and it was like, the way you view God affects the way you treat Him...something like that
