Will your Future be a repeat of your past?

For thousands of years, people have wanted to know what the future has in store for them. Every decision we take, would be so much easier if it could be made with the benefit of hindsight.

If we already knew what was going to happen, wouldn't it be easier to live our lives?

For many, not knowing their future is unnerving and unsettling and they resort to ways and means of getting hints and clues.

Many resort to their horoscope, or make visits to Fortune Tellers or Tarot card readers, something that has happened for thousands of years.

Isn't it amazing, that here we are in the 21st century, yet far from living and prospering in a wonderful Technological age, with superstition, the Psychic and the occult as things of the past.

Wouldn't you have thought, that by now our wonderfully advanced Science and Technology would have proven beyond doubt that there was no substance to such things and would have replaced such superstition, with a scientific, factual based blueprint for living.

Why is it then, that this is not the case? in fact more and more people than ever before are relying on fortune telling, Psychics and the occult as a means of indicating the future?

So many people

Could it be the case that the majority of people believe that there is something beyond Science and Technology, beyond us in fact, but that they don't know what that something is? it is just a very private belief that they cannot explain. The something they believe cannot be explained.

Many other people today are living without even the hope of something, in a state of hopelessness, despair, with a sense of 'what's the point of it all!

Many are chasing the illusion of eternal life, relying on Science and Technology to give them the means by which they can preserve themselves, or live forever.

For generations it has been taught that christianity provides a means of inheriting eternal life. Let us take a look at this question of eternal life from the perspective of the Bible.

If we just discuss things, it is the sharing of opinions, not based upon anything other than theories, what other people think, or what has been written about in the past, these are also opinions.

Hasn't Science and Technology proven most things by now? Do we see evidence of this? it seems that all we see is that Science and Technology cannot prove anything unless it can be proven, tested and repeated. So how can it test and prove whether there exists something bigger and beyond us, if it cannot be measured.

That something that we believe is there but we don't know what it is?

For instance Science and Technology is no good to us when we talk about the future, it can only look at things in the past and postulate and create theories about the future. Best guesses or educated opinions.

If we are going to base our future on something I believe we need something more substantial than, best guesses and opinions, don't you?

Therefore, one thing we need to do is to consider the Bible. In doing so we must either totally reject the Bible the Word of God as fantasy, which would then bring us round to a point of no discussion. Or we must totally accept that the Bible is indeed what it says it is, the very Word of God.

After all if it is part true and part false, who is the one to decide which bits are true and which bits are false?

So let us assume for the sake of progressing in the discussion that The Bible, the Word of God is indeed true, now we can set the ground rule based on the Word of God. that all Scripture is God breathed, which means we have to look at and consider every word in the Bible, not just consider some bits and reject others

Now the bible says that we are composed of three parts

So now what does the Bible have to say about our future, many, many things for instance God says
