"divine plan" or "divine purpose"
Problematic yan concept na yan talaga. Pag sinabi kasing devine plan, nawawalan na ng self responsibility ang mga tao. Nawawalan na sila ng humility to even think na ang paghihirap nila ay kasalanan nila. Nawawalan sila ng purpose para gumawa ng sariling hakbang. Kasi nga devine plan, destiny. Maghihintay lng ng blessing at kung ano ang plano ng diyos.
Of course mga theist meron rebutt lagi jan. Ung mga tipong "nasa diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa". Pero in practice hindi nmn yan ang natutunan ng tao sa devine plan.
Minsan dahil sa concept ng devine plan, nakakagawa ng masama ang tao. Example ung mga terrorist. I will bet you they believed na devine plan ang ginagawa nila. Ung mga theist satanist ganun din.
What do you think? Who's the real evil here? Are the ones who rebel because they knew its ****ed up first hand or the one was praised as "Light" and "goodness" tricky perhaps.
Wala nmn kasi tlgang good and evil sa mundo. The moment you define something good, you automatically say that everything opposing is bad. But in reality, everything has pros and cons.
There are big issues na "defined" by religion as sins. Solely because it maintains order. Order has it pros, but it can lead to tyranny.
Ngayon, mga anti religion namn, they will claim religion is bad, which means they are good. This leads to chaos. May cons ang chaos kasi hindi natin mppredict ang result. Pero in a way, chaos has its pros too, because chaos is a means of change, and growth, or "rebirth" if you will.
Kaya nga christianity is really not about being good or being bad. It is about balance. The god of the OT represents order, panahon ng eye for an eye. Then Jesus represents, the rebirth, panahon ng forgiveness.
Kaya para sakin, churches that cannot teach this properly, they are doing a disservice sa mga tao. They are just pushing a more polarized way of thinking, where it should have been a religion of peace, they would appeal to our tendency to tribalism. It is not healthy.
