I have undergone an enlightening and intellectually stimulating journey in my quest to comprehend and fully embrace the concept of determinism. By engaging in thorough and meticulous exploration and analysis, I have acquired a profound admiration for the absolute sovereignty of God and the inherent veracity encapsulated within the sacred scriptures of the Bible. However, it is not uncommon for this ideology to be met with skepticism, particularly within the ranks of fellow faithful, who often question the feasibility of harmonizing a belief in determinism with an unwavering devotion to the Almighty.
The expedition towards comprehending and fully embracing the intricate concept of determinism has proven to be a deeply transformative and thought-provoking odyssey.
Through rigorous investigation and analysis, I have arrived at a profound understanding and reverence for the supreme authority of God and the undeniable veracity enshrined within the sacred texts of the Bible. Strikingly, this perspective is frequently met with skepticism, particularly among those who share a similar faith, as they grapple with the notion of reconciling determinism with a devout love for the Divine.
My convictions are grounded in both biblical teachings and logical reasoning.
Determinism aligns perfectly with the core principles of the Bible, acknowledging that God alone deserves worship, and apart from Him nothing is, at all. For more in depth: READ: DETERMINISTIC WORLD VIEW
Determinism resonates with the logical and scientific fact of cause and effect: every event has a cause, and every cause has an effect.
I reject the notion of free will and the idea that we possess independent control over the course of our lives.
My unwavering commitment to a deterministic worldview is not based on blind faith or arbitrary beliefs; instead, it is the result of a comprehensive understanding that integrates biblical teachings, logical reasoning, and principles from the field of physics. All these sources of knowledge converge to support the conclusion that our lives are governed by external forces beyond our control.
Determinism, in its essence, asserts that every state of affairs, including human events, actions, and decisions, is the inevitable consequence of antecedent states of affairs. It is the philosophical belief that all events and actions are determined by predetermined causes and conditions. According to determinism, if one possesses complete knowledge of all relevant factors and conditions at a given moment, they can accurately predict future events.
Determinism emphasizes the role of causality and the understanding that every action has a cause.
How do determinists reconcile personal responsibility?
We recognize that individuals are responsible for their actions, even if those actions are influenced by external factors.
Personal responsibility involves understanding and accepting the consequences of our choices and behaviors. These behaviors are shaped by factors such as genetics, environment, past experiences, and societal conditioning, but as the law of responsibility goes: we are accountable for every thing we do in the body.
We acknowledge that choices are made based on unique circumstances and are influenced by factors beyond an individual’s total control. Personal responsibility also extends to considering the impact of our actions on others and society as a whole.
Determinism does not excuse individuals from their actions or their consequences; instead, it encourages a deeper understanding of the complex web of causality in our lives, leading to true repentance.
Although we are responsible, we don’t have to carry such a heavy load or burden anymore, when we realize Who’s we are, we can finally begin to die, die to self and realize the yolk is light, truly.
