Predestination

If a parent sets food before their child to choose which meal to eat, didn't the parent choose the choices for the child? The predetermined choices of this or that are, by their very own nature, predetermined for the child, since the parent knows the child's preferences and history well beyond that of the child's own ability. And more so with God, who not only has seen all the actions of the child but intentionally made them with certain characteristics and qualities for a purpose, His purpose. The reward for choosing the healthier meal the parent presents, versus the lack of reward by the unhealthy option, is itself also coercive and predetermined. The rewards, by their very nature, are ingrained in the purposes of the parent. The parent developed the plan and the materials to present what they wanted the child to choose. Wouldn't you be a bad parent if you did not incentivize the child to eat the healthier option and didn't do your best to present the positive benefits to the child by not only educating them but by making the healthier alternative desirable? All the child has to do is eat the food on the plate. But what if the child chose the unhealthy food, the sugar and the saturated fats, what then for the parent? Well they would do more, but the child themselves didn't choose the bad food because their desire was bad, they chose the bad food bc the parent themselves failed in the past in their diet choices for the child and the culture and peers of the child failed them in their roles to help the child as role models and with accessibility. In fact, the child themselves are a product of their parents poor work, the DNA of the parent, and the culture and socio leaders in their lives. But DNA itself is shown to be altered by the decisions of the parents and grandparents, their environments and diets as well. The parent, however, seems to always take the blame and shame. And yet, the child, being poisoned by their poor nourishment and education, chose nothing, but was a slave to the choices made for them by others becoming a habit. And yet, it takes an act by the parent to force the child to choose the healthy option against all they experience in the defilement around them and from their past. The child would never choose the healthy spinach and mushrooms over the sausage mac and cheese. And so, the parent blames others and themselves, and yet, begs the child to make the choice. This begging isn't because they believe the child will change from the proposition but because they know that when the parent forces the child to eat well, they will remember the plea of the parent prior, that it wasn't spontaneous but predetermined and purposeful. In leadership, we know strategic change only occurs when the one being changed has been forewarned of the change to come, a glimpse of the future so that they may be eased at the initiation of the change later on. And thus, the child was always a slave to someone else's actions and the parent the sole one whom is accountable for the future change of heart in the child's diet. And thus, people today are slaves to Satan because of the choices of others, such as Adam, and yet, their choices are punished by God, despite the parent being at fault (their father being satan and linage of Adam). God, knowing He has to force the change on His new child (being adopted in Christ), must reveal the change ahead of time to the child in proper stategic change, that the child will be ready when the change is initated in them. And though the child never would make the decision themselves, whether good or bad (being a slave to bad by Adam or a slave to God through His Purpose and Will), they must see the truth prior to the change for the regeneration to work and thus require calls of change and seeing punishment, and to see the Holy nature of their adopted parent and the evil nature of their past parent. This is our lives, Amen!!
