Well, was it in the plan for you to be born into a situation that led you to Christianity? Was it in the plan that Ghandi be led to a different religion? It sure sounds random to me. |

| Some people believe that, I don't. This could get convoluted really quickly though, and I don't think I'm capable of explaining the different ideas. It's a topic I intentionally avoid, but I'd be interested to read someone's reply if they can handle it.

| This is starting to sound like predestination. Fate. Luck (or un-luck) of the draw. |

i definitely think the Lord has his hand in all of these things. i think predestination is sort of a human way to understand an infinite principle....

Maybe, but it still comes to this: most of the world doesn't have a choice about becoming a Christian, or not.
The human way of understanding is all that matters to humans. If not, what's the point? |
