Rza is surely trolling and you guys keep falling for it every time. It is slightly entertaining. The rest of the time not so much.
No one's future is predetermined that is the dogma of destiny which is not based on scripture. Even Jesus could have taken Satan's offer at the top of the mountain if he chose to do so.
I keep getting Fatalism popping into my head.
Fatalism generally refers to any of the following ideas:
1.The view that we are powerless to do anything other than what we actually do.[1] Included in this is that man has no power to influence the future, or indeed, his own actions.[2] This belief is very similar to predeterminism.
2.An attitude of resignation in the face of some future event or events which are thought to be inevitable. Friedrich Nietzsche named this idea with "Turkish fatalism"[3] in his book The Wanderer and His Shadow.[4]
3.That actions are free, but nevertheless work toward an inevitable end.[5] This belief is very similar to compatibilist predestination.
4.That acceptance is appropriate, rather than resistance against inevitability. This belief is very similar to defeatism.
If you applied this to scripture, then everything, from creation to today, is meaningless and pointless and our very existence is just a hollow simulation void of all consequence. That Christ would never needed to have given his life. That everything God has done up till now is simply one giant mockery and game.
Trolling yes, but the dangerous type of trolling since if rza truly is a believer in Christ/God etc, then he is treading on very thin ice.
