Theology / Apologetics / guy's Qs on set fate
|

this subject was brought up in a car forum i post on and would like to help shed some light but need a little help. heres what he posted:
"This thing has been kind of in the back of my mind. I think about it ever so often. And before you read this, I'm not trying to deter anyone away from religion.
Anyways, God is all knowledgable, correct? He knows what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen, correct? So does that mean that my fate is already set? You would have to believe that your fate is already set, if its not, then God won't know the future, as if everything is changing. So it seems like if I was meant to burn in hell, I can't do anything now to stop it, my fate is already set. But, if I am supposed to be up in heaven, then I'm already set."
thanx

in my poli-sci class my instructor mentioned taught that we dont live in a democracy but a plutocracy instead.
A Plutocracy comprises a government system where wealth is the principal basis of power (from the Greek ploutos meaning wealth).
The influence of wealth on governance can be expressed either via the wealthy classes directly governing, or (more typically) by the wealthy classes using money to control the government. This control can be exerted positively (by financial "contributions" or in some cases, bribes) or negatively by refusing to financially support the government (refusing to pay taxes, threatening to move profitable industries elsewhere, etc).
makes sense to me considering that congress is a buncha rich boys...not to mention you have to have a good amount of connections with the wealthy class to get a chance at presidency
