Are we masters of our destiny?

7 min • 5 maj 2021

The nature of destiny has been debated throughout human history. The most straightforward definition of destiny is that God created the universe, life and all events, both past and future, in a single instant.

This means that every event from the moment of the universe’s creation to the Day of Judgment has already taken place and ended in the presence of God.

Therefore, anything that hasn’t happened yet are only events that haven’t happened for us, not for God: After all, God is unbound by time or space as He, Himself, created time and space.

Therefore, for God, the past, present and future are all one and everything has already begun and completed.
