Supposed to be includes a judgment of better and asserts the belief that there are superior options. All is not equal -- going hungry is inferior to being fed, being warm is better than shivering. Supposed to be recognizes this standard. A line in reality that is set by a rational mind. The only source of rationality is a Rational Being.
So, it also follows that supposed presupposes a free will by assuming it didn't have to be this way. We inherently believe we can change our minds, our futures, and our final outcomes to what they should be. But the only source of such a free will would be a Being with Free Will. Otherwise supposed to be -- is whatever will be. Yet each time we say that wasn't supposed to happen, we are giving ourselves the distinction of making a rational decision and forming intent. Everytime we evaluate or correct a situation to be as it was "supposed" to be -- we claim the mark of God. "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis 1:27 Comments are closed.
