Beowulf Response Thingy

*Beowulf says, "Fate saves the living when they drive away death by themselves"
Beowulf mainly does all the work while his men help a little bit once in a while. God does nothing for him throughout the story. It is mainly Beowulf, his strength, and his chain mail shirt that do all the work. We determine what happens to us, God usually intervenes at times that we wouldn't want him to intervene. Fate and God only determine where we will be when we die (heaven or hell). All the in between stuff is made by us. God is usually just a watch maker type of god. Lets it run by itself while checking on it once in a while to make sure it is keeping time. I win because of all the effort and the training that I have done. Fate doesn't save us, we save ourselves in daily situations not in the salvation term.
*got kinda random right about here
God comes to help when I don't want him but when I feel I really need him, he is nowhere to be found.

We must be men of action, take hold of life instead of life taking hold of us. We mustn't sit around and do nothing rather we should be doing something of value.

It is better for a Christian to challenge their faith instead of not growing at all. If he stays the same then he never learns more about God or loves God more but is instead an insult to Him because he does nothing about his faith. God spits out the lukewarm so I would rather be completely with God or completely against God.

Oh God where art thou, where art thou?
I need you now, I need you now.
Oh God where art thou, where art thou?
It is too late now, oh it is too late now
For you to come save me now.

Personality Test

ENTP

Inventors begin building gadgets and mechanisms as young children, and never really stop, though as adults they will turn their inventiveness to many kinds of organizations, social as well as mechanical. There aren't many Inventors, say about two percent of the population, but they have great impact on our everyday lives. With their innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, Inventors are always on the lookout for a better way, always eyeing new projects, new enterprises, new processes. Always aiming to "build a better mousetrap."-->Inventors are keenly pragmatic, and often become expert at devising the most effective means to accomplish their ends. They are the most reluctant of all the types to do things in a particular manner just because that's the way they have been done. As a result, they often bring fresh, new approaches to their work and play. They are intensely curious and continuously probe for possibilities, especially when trying to solve complex problems. Inventors are filled with ideas, but value ideas only when they make possible actions and objects. Thus they see product design not as an end in itself, but as a means to an end, as a way of devising the prototype that works and that can be brought to market. Inventors are confident in their pragmatism, counting on their ability to find effective ways and means when they need them, rather than making a detailed blueprint in advance. A rough idea is all they need to feel ready to proceed into action.

I don't comletely agree. This is the second time I took it and its a lot different than the first. I have no idea what i did differently.

Predestination first 2 paragraphs


Predestination is a word that most people do not like to hear. The word predestination means to be chosen before hand or pre determined. The pro-or-id'zo is a Greek word that is used in many verses of the Bible. Some examples are: Romans 8:28 “who have been called,” Acts 13:48 “who were appointed for eternal life,” and John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you.” These are just a few verses that support the idea of predestination so we will believe it completely true just for a moment.

God chooses who goes to heaven and hell before they are even born. It says in Psalm 139:16 that “all the days ordained for me were written in you book before one of them came to be.” Nothing we do can change that we are going somewhere that we may not want to go to. If God is doing this then a question we may want to ask is, is God ‘good’ if he is sending people to hell and making people do ‘bad’ things?
