  When I read the bible, I believed in predestination, I found that to be a dominant theme of the bible.

  I havent read the bible cover to cover for about 5 years now.

  I have been looking into the ananaki, Alien Gods from Nibiru.

  The Gods of the Sumerians and originators of many of the bible myths.

  They seem to have taught the summerians we are predestined.

  Even if we are predestined, I dont know what my end is or what is going to happen between now and when I die.

  So there is a mystic a mystery still in living.

  I don't believe in predestination,but I am sure that it was decided aeons ago that I would feel this way.

  Is predestination where you feel that you have been somewhere before? or am I having deja Vu all over again?

  Odd. My hands typed that sentence by themselves.

  A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

  I AM going to DIE!

  I WILL live to the age of 70 years plus, if I am lucky and physically and mentally strong.

  I WILL die before the age of 70 years if my health and lifestyle combine to rob me of a few precious years with my family and friends.

  I WILL live to 90 or 100 years of age if I am very, very, very UNLUCKY. Most of my friends and acquaintances will be dead by then and I will not those persons that know and care for me.

  There is nothing in ancient sources that relate the Annunaki to a star or planet called Nibiru. There is a modern mythology about Nibiru and the Annunaki that you are drawing on, but it has only a very loose connection with any actual Sumerian and Akkadian myths that may have influenced Hebrew literature. Kind of like the modern Horus myth that makes him out to be a crucified wonderworker, which has nothing to do with any ancient concept of Horus. Nowhere in the Bible is Moses a spiderweb-spinning superhero either.

  Predestination = everything is the fault of some one or something else.

  Free will = everything is the fault of the individual.

  If you believe that "Adam and Eve" had free will, then, predestination is a falacy.

  If you believe that the life of "Adam and Eve" was predestined, then, the apparent choice they were offered, was not, in fact, a choice.

  I will not worship a God that decides before certain people are born into the world, that they will be assigned to burn in Hell for eternity.

  I don't think you would much care for these statements:

  "In your hand is the inclination of his spirit and all his works you have determined before you created him....You alone created the righteous one and from the womb you established him to give heed to your covenant, but the wicked you created for the time of your wrath and from the womb you set them apart for the day of slaughter" (1QH 7:26-30; from the Thanksgiving Hymns in the Dead Sea Scrolls).

  "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast, everyone whose name was not written since the founding of the world in the book of the life belonging to the Lamb that was slain" (Revelation 13:8).

  Neither do I.

  Neither do I.

  That God foreknows all outcomes to the very end of time does not deny the freedom of those that choose.
