Hello there saints,
I have two questions, placed in two sections, both questions are in bold font.
So, feel free to skip the following intros.
1.
This is how my thoughts flowed.
God is eternal. Without beginning or end.
Our soul is also eternal.
When we die, we either live with God in eternity or we will be dying without Him eternally.
Since our soul has an eternal character, does it mean, that our soul was here (somewhere with God or I do not know where) before we were born?
There is a verse in Jeremiah supporting this presumption.
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou hast come forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee and prophet unto the nations.
2.
I had this argument with one fellow brother, or I was rather whining (as usual) about me in this world.
So, he mentioned, that actually, it could of be my own choice.
To come to this world.
How interesting and awesome, isn’t it? (For me it is easier to blame me rather than God, so it was a relief)
I mean beside the fact that why on earth would I choose this life… (that’s not a question for you, thou)
So basically, what he said was, that before we have been born, we were as souls with God and we might discussed with Him possibility of our life.
Or we might had agreed with God with us being born.
Same way as Jesus did. Well, he rather volunteered... but something like that.
Do you think, that we agreed or even asked God to be born?
(Us being born, not Him... I hate English...so ambiguous grammar)
If so, it would be interesting to hear your reasons (which you obviously can’t remember, but you can still kinda guess them or deduce them)
Thank you in advance for your time and hopefully also answers
