I’m going to make this short first,

After becoming a christian, and knowing that everything in life is actually all predestined by God. I can’t help but wonder can i even use the word coincidence anymore in my vocabulary. To understand the meaning of coincidence.

Coincidence 1 – The state or fact of occupying the same relative position or area in space.

Since everything has already bee planned out by God, doesn’t that mean nothing can actually happen as a coincidence? Doesn’t it mean that by coincidence, it was just by chance, just by luck, or just by fate that a particular event or situation has arised. God doesn’t make mistakes so meaning nothing could’ve happened by accident.

looking at this defination might change how i feel towards the term coincidence.

coincidence 2 – A sequence of events that although ‘accidental’ seems to have been planned or arranged

Can we look at it and think maybe a coincidence is actually God’s way of fixing up a bad choice we have made.Hmmm… new thought now. Maybe i shouldn’t be to cynical when i look or hear the word coincidence, since in my pre-mindset i think of it as something that usually involves the term luck…

So…. Coincidence or Predestined?
