people believe that their is some super natural force that defines our destiny,and one has to follow his path for salvation,and if our destiny has already been decided then why this fuss all about?

Many people believe that our destiny has already been decided, but I find it hard to subscribe to that view, b/c God made men to be free moral agents, to have a CHOICE to follow him or not, and if everything was predetermined then his gift of choice would have been taken away, and it is not his will that any should perish but that all should come to repentence, as the Holy Bible says. Additionally, the Bible says God's gifts are without repentance, so I don't believe he is going to take away man's abitity to choose to serve him. There is alway room for change.

to me God is my creator, he is the one i beleave will get me through the hard times i will and have delt with. God is to me the one who will help and who has helped me. to me God is what i beleave in, for some they have other beleifs but i think beleaving in something is good for everyone. its up to a certain individual what they beleave, i dont push religion on anyone and i dont think anyone should, you can not force religion on a person. i have strong beliefs but there mine and there mine to choose in how and what i beleave. tryng to define God is hard because God can be so many diferant things to so many diferant ppl. but for me he is what i beleave will carry me and my family through and he is where my family and i will go.

I'm sorry I don't really understand your question. Are you asking why we are fussing about some destiny that has already been decided? Well, I think even though someone's destiny has been decided, it's not everybody that knows what is their destiny and so, our life lies in making this destiny true ;)

a human being is in between the choice and forces against his choice.so in one way he has fixed our destiny and in other way he has given us a choice. choice from the side of soul and force from the side of bodily metters
