Jehovah our God is One
The highest truth, above the minds of men, is that there is a universe full of God's creations, and He alone determines their beings, their laws, and their fates. Anything lesser than this is according to the barriers of perception that God Himself places on creation. He is all-knowing- past, present, and future.
this cannot be a 'truth'
What you are saying is that God determines which children will die a painful slow death, who will be assaulted, who will be raped by whom and when, who will become a thief, who will become a murderer and so on and so on
How can you seriously believe that God determines everything?
His own word says:
Deut 30:15*See, I do put before you today life and good, and death and bad. 16*[If you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God,] which I am commanding you today, so as to love Jehovah your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judicial decisions, then you will be bound to keep alive and to multiply, and Jehovah your God must bless you in the land to which you are going to take possession of it.
17*But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, and you are actually seduced and bow down to other gods and serve them, 18*I do tell YOU today that YOU will positively perish. YOU will not lengthen YOUR days on the ground to which you are crossing the Jordan to go to take possession of it. 19*I do take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against YOU today, that I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the malediction; and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, 20*by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him; for he is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell upon the ground that Jehovah swore to your forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to give to them.
that doesnt sound to me like God has already decided If i'm going to obey him or not. Its his encouragement to advise us what we 'should' choose. He has left the decision up to us. How can you say he decides the fate of everyone?
