There are decisions we could have made in life but
instead we chose to do something else. Instead of choosing A, B or C we chose
D.
What if we would have chosen A, B or C instead of D?
What would have happened? What chain of consequences would have been set into
effect? What different choices would other people have made as a result of our
changed course of action and what would be the effect of those choices?
It is beyond our ability to know such things.
The scenario I have presented only involves one
person’s decisions and four possible choices. In reality, we could multiply the
future possibilities described above to involve every person on earth and
rather than four choices, the choices would be much wider.
Now, who could possibly know the virtually limitless
possible future scenarios?
No one. Right? It is ridiculous to even suggest that
anyone could have such knowledge.
Except God. Think of how extraordinary a mind would
have to be to actually know how all of the future contingencies resulting from
billions of humans exercising free will would actually play out. In the truest
sense of this term, it is “mindboggling.”
What is described above doesn’t even begin to
scratch the surface, however, it is a tiny little glimpse into the awesome
breadth and brilliance of the mind of God.
