What do ye think about...??

Question

Hello!!

Do you believe the theory that us humans are like fish in a pond,and there is some greater force above us watching our every move?? Or could you imagine that we might be like a little game for greater forces?? Something like playing 'The Sims'.

It could be possible,after all,there are many different dimensions around us...What do ye think??

Or could it be God,controlling our every move(if ye believe in God,I do)?

Answer 1

God doesn't control our every move, however He is the only one who is aware of the infinite possibilities, and knows which finite set of possibilities we percieve as open to us. We make our own choices but are not aware of the consequences before making them. God, who is "other than" His creation, is aware of all possibilities and consequences beforehand.

However it's not just a game to Him. You don't come down in human form to die for a game.

Answer 2

no we were not fish, yes there is a God, no he does not control us he gives us free will, although he does have control over things, what he does do is always a reason behind it.. and no, God does not play games....yw

Answer 3

I don't think so no, as the 'Gods' would then have someone controlling them, right?

I think about it alot though..

Answer 4

I did believe it God when I was told I had to at a very youn age. And as I got older things changed. I'm not saying religion is bad far from it. I have met and still a lot of the good friends are still church going people.

As the years went on my mind grew  in many different ways. So yes I have to say there could be other things or even gods that control our every move and thought . If this is the case I can never go back to church the way I knew it. [As I tell my friends] only for the reason most religion's tell use we have a free mind and we make out own decisions. If that is the case then no it can't be a game as in chess where you are moved as by a player. If God or even the devil was moving us then we don't  have a free will  of our own.

There will still be people who say it's God or the devil who put things there for us  to decide on what to do. And if that is the case I don't like being played with no matter who it  might be moving the parts.

So can there be others out there besides the god's and devil,s playing us like robots I would have to say yes. It does not mean I,m right and it  does not mean I,m wrong no matter what an other human being may say to me about their beliefs is not my problem. And I hope for them it all works out.

So all you can do is come up with the answer for yourself not by what others may say you have to. It's your life and your life alone so be who you are. And if you have choosen God as the one who controls all be it. For you have the right to believe what you do as I have the right to believe in the things I do. As long as I and you are not hurting others bye what we believe we are both on different paths together.

                                                  So all the best to you in your understand of what life is. For the world and the mind are for ever changing things.
