RE: The Questions Of Rebirth & Second Life
Time is experienced all at once by this bird, the past, present and future all in one go.
Very similar to the Christian God, who gives you free will, however, he already knows what you will do because he is aware of all the time.
Plato also exposes some very good points in favor of reincarnation, however, in such matters there will always be uncertainty.
If free will exists, and the Christian God knows what you will do, then this free will would be just an illusion, isn't it? How 'free' would that 'will' be in that context?
What happens is that in Christianity God is eternal, and is in the past, present and future at the same time, as the bird, therefore, sees everything you are doing at all times. You choose what you do, based on your will, however, he already knows because he is seeing everything.
It's as if I could read the future, if you are going to answer this comment or not, however, you are the one who decides, I only know what you decide.
