Fatalistic view- Destiny is – “the inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined; one's lot. A predetermined course of events considered as something beyond human power or control” (Dictionary.com). Fatalistic view- Destiny is – “the inevitable or necessary fate to which a particular person or thing is destined; one's lot.

Christian Free will view- “Destiny is the end result of your choices. An open course where you may not control all events, but you do control your responses. Through Christ you can do all things!” PM Christian Free will view- “Destiny is the end result of your choices. An open course where you may not control all events, but you do control your responses.

There are two types of fatalists; material fatalist and spiritual fatalist.

Failure of Fatalism 1: Fatalism Disregards our everyday conscious lives and choices. Failure of Fatalism 2: Fatalism Disassociates us from our actions; since we have no control we are made out to be no longer responsible for our behavior and sins. Failure of Fatalism 3: Fatalism Destroys hope since you can’t really change there is no point in trying.

Fatalists teach that man has no control over his destiny.

Material Atheists- Sam Harris Atheist Sigmund Freud declared man helpless in the face of biological urges.

Fatalists – people who believe they are powerless to change their own destiny affect others in their lifestyles and beliefs.

Man’s denial of a free will slams up against God’s design and desire.

There is a loving God who created you to have a relationship with Himself. He cares so deeply for you that Christ, God in the flesh, died for you to pay the penalty for your sin. He sets you free and gives you power to truly change.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

“Willing” is from the Greek word βούλομαι (boulomai) which means… Deeply passionate desire with a plan to accomplish. ‘To purpose, to plan, to intend.”

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. It is NOT God’s desire, will or plan for anyone to go to hell. With this deep desire God has made a plan to accomplish this by sending His Son to die for our sins. His deep desire is that everyone would repent.

Remember, God did not create hell for man, but for the devil and his angels. Man only goes there because man rejects Christ. Matthew 25:41.

Romans 10:13 – “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Acts 2:21 “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Prayer – the power to change things through God.
