Thank you to everyone who commented on my post yesterday, Gracias 🙏🏾

I attended a children/ youth programme on the first week of October and we discussed this questions.

1) what is destiny, purpose and mission 

2) what is the interconnection between these three.

So many people's comments on my last post caught my attention and made me believe that both Essence and existentialism can coexist.

I'm really proud of this generation honestly, y'all in two cents made me believe we have adults who believe in God but still ask questions instead of being dogmatic.

According to what they answered in the church's retreat

Destiny is what we are called to do even before we existed 

Purpose is why we are on earth

Mission is every activity we do everyday to achieve our purpose and destiny 

So yes, Philosophy and Religion can coexist 

DESTINY is equal to ESSENCE 

MISSION is equal to EXISTENTIALISM 

I'm a Christian girl so I see things from a Christian angle sometimes.

You have your Destiny and Purpose which is your essence

 The choice you make and the activities you carry out ( mission) can decide the outcome of your life which is existentialism.

So yes, two truths can coexist.

When you're confused about something, go back to your Bible or Quran.

The answers you seek are there.

And don't think that because God has given you a destiny so you can slack and not do anything about it because one way or the other he's going to make it happen. No

He can give you a destiny but God still gives you free will.

if you don't act like you want it, if you don't seek God's guidance, he can raise stones in your stead to do it.

Exactly what happened to Saul when the throne was given to David just because of an act of disobedience.

I guess that's where the adage that says "obedience is better than sacrifice" emerges from.

This is my own conclusion, everyone can add theirs 

Thank you everyone.
