The Boss himself...

atheistandproud:
I think prophecies are nothing more than educated guesses. This is because I have made certain educated guesses of my own majority of which turned out to be spot on.

Remember, the late great TB Joshua incorrectly prophesied that a woman would sit in the White House. He was absolutely wrong. No woman has come close. Clinton lost to the Electoral college and Elizabeth Warren didn't even make it out of the primaries.

The Sourcerer also made another excellent point. Note a single prophet the world over could see Covid 19 and the lockdowns before it came. Not one.

That being said, there are things in this world that I do not totally understand. As a child and as a teen, (even now as an adult, although it's rare) I would go to bed and see things that would happen. It could be in a day, or two, or even a week. There was one time I told my mom that she'll meet her friend at a function as a child. She didn't believe it. The friend was in Lagos. Omoh we see the lady for there. So things do happen.

But all the mainstream prophets we have are all frauds. Every last one.

You're quite right, not gonna lie

atheistandproud:
I don't believe in destiny or the concept of predestination. We are the products of the sum of our actions and decisions over our lifetimes. Sometimes it's good, other times it's bad.

Exactly my point.

If a person, who grew up in a cult infested neighborhood chooses to be friends, hang out, and do the bidding of those cultists in his neighborhood, he's most likely going to end up a cultist.
Unless some adjustments are being made in his life choices.

We're are primarily products of our actions, ain't no such thing as Destiny.
My opinion, still.

if I wiggle my pinky finger , was it of my control or compelled by the brain's instruction ?


There is nothing like Destiny ,,, unless if used by Christians to explain positive and affirmative situation and circumstance
Eg God has made it your destiny to trample your enemies (very vague)


Your destiny has always to become a fierce warrior


Your destiny is to do good.



If Hercules Destiny was to become a fierce warrior but he sits back watches TV all day and becomes a couch potato .....even though when he was born his 'destiny' was to be a fierce warrior and not a couch potato ....... Hence it was never destined to be a fierce warrior without tweaking himself to become a fierce warrior ,
Now he became a couch potato , this was always meant to be , que sera Sera



And if he became a fierce warrior eventually with or without training then this again was meant to happen and not destiny ....... Clearly destiny has to do with the future and last time I checked no one from the beginning of man could tell the future (aside calculated predictions like prophesies and betting
Nope Destiny does not exist ...... It does to theiests of course but in reality destiny is like reincarnation blissful wish .

Woah, hang on.
Prophecy foretells events based on some inner/divine intuition or spiritual inspiration as opposed to prediction, which is based on some logical foundation or previous experience/trends

I think prophecies aren't calculated predictions, they are inspired by divine sources.
My opinion, BTW

Here to Learn.

TheSourcerer:
my policy is 'que Sera Sera '
No matter how much you try , you switch 'que Sera Sera'

And freewill , do we really have freewill? and are we not slaves to our emotions thoughts and actions .

Deep!
Abeg, Sha throw more light

mariovito:
Destiny.
This is believed to be a preordained end or outcome of an event or activity or a persons life .
We all know that a person's life are mostly a sum of their choices and decisions. If we agree to this, then there's no way predestination can be real well except in the case of programmed algorithms.

This brings us to freewill.
In its most basic understanding, freewill is the perceived freedom from influence an individual enjoys when making a choice or decision.
As an individual makes it through life from infancy to adulthood, information and experiences are stored away in a person's subconscious. Environmental influence and others come in here.
Most individuals make their decisions based off of these feeds even without their knowledge.

Its even well known that hormones also affect decisions. Theses are age long information etched into our DNA which sort of functions like a computer algorithm. So when a person makes some choices, they may not really be making really free choices but rather just adhering to the prompting from millennia old information stored up in our DNA.

To further buttress this, have you ever given it a thought why at even instant, we are bombarded with a deluge of trains of thoughts which can be cataclysmic? Most times, the battle is focusing and developing one train of thought while shutting out the rest.

I can't tell you what's responsible for the ability of humans to have that much source of input of information, but I can tell you that we barely make freewill decisions. A lot of external influence are involved.

Well for one, I believe the Human Brain is a complex structure made up of intricate set of instructions that informs their decisions.

Just how super intelligent computer programs make decision from analysing sets of rules and algorithms; the human subconscious provides the mind with necessary information, rules and conditions to CONSIDER, before making a decision.

So, I think we ultimately decide for ourselves.

AdeniyiA:
Freewill is not actually free and absolute. There's always an external and internal influence.
Do you that the only valuable thing about man is his spirit? We do nothing without this spirit influence. Now what influences your spirit? What influences your spirit could make you choose/do a wrong thing that's not in line with your supposed destiny, but a strong destiny might cause a redirection(like the example you gave). A knowledgeable man, though has his freewill, yet still believes in its limitations and hence seeks for spiritual direction/guidance. Our freewill is to take us to our destiny only if we allow the giver of freewill to influence us

Great Point, BTW

AdeniyiA:
Freewill is not actually free and absolute. There's always an external and internal influence...

Lol, if Freewill exists...it should be free.
If it's not absolute, then I believe it's not Freewill.

I suppose you're saying in essence that Freewill is an illusion, and Destiny is the real Deal, yeah?

mariovito:
Both illusion

Please explain why you think they're both illusion.��

I've been pondering if it's possible to have Freewill and still believe in Destiny.

I mean, if you have Freewill, Destiny isn't supposed to be a thing,
given that a person could today become a doctor and if they think it isn't enough, switch over to being a sex therapist.
As opposed to be Destined to become a Doctor, which means they'd ultimately end up a medical practitioner regardless.

What you do all think?

In a sense he's right. You can't claim to be civilized when you approve same sex marriage and condemn polygamy. The former is unnatural while the latter is natural. Do your civilization and let them do their Allah Akbomb in peace. After all, Afghans are not complaining.

Transsion's flaw, I guess
