Do you believe that the future already exists?

How does your religion, beliefs interpret the passage of time? Is it set in stone, can you change it or does it not exist?

    The future is subject to changes. Your past and present determines your future. Some of your good deeds may relieve you from the sins you did in the past. If you don't do any good, the fate determined by the spirits will remain as it is. There will not be any changes. Therefore you must understand that the future is uncertain.

    Well God knows the future. What we do or Don't do. We can co-create our futures by decisions we make. If against God, life, time goes one direction. Saved, life and time follows this direction. The Bible breaks it down to: past, present and future. Perspective being, we had yesterday! We have today! We have faith in tomorrow will come!. We we did right in the past, we did ok today, then tomorrow will be good.

    No, you can not change the past, but you can change your future.Notice what

    Jehovah God has said in the Bible at Deuteronomy 30:19, “I take the heavens

    and the earth as witnesses against you today that I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the curse,and you must choose life so that you may live,you and descendants.” The Bible tells us about the future at Psalms 37:9-11,29. “Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

    “The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.”

    The future already exists for God .. because He is not bound by time as we are.

    God's name "YHWH" means "He is" (the eternally existing One) and all of

    time - from past, present to future, is eternally as "now" for God.

    He "sees the end from the beginning" ~ because He is already there. That is

    why God was able to inspire prophecies He gave to the writers of the Bible.

    Possibly but it may only be in the quantum world and if it is it's almost certainly predetermined.
