There is nothing bigger than God, but it's an insult to God for you to become a loser and waste the life you were given.
It really isn't when you read the entire thing.
Ever look into Ecclesiastes?
Thinking big is doing the work God gave you.
In a deterministic sense we're doing precisely what we're meant to do and cannot do any differently. We're given 'choice' as a consolation prize for our inevitable burning.
But why are you even asking me, when to you religious people are merely clowns for you to listen to, for your own amusement.
Because it's still about people.
We're like zoo animals to you, meant to entertain and intrigue you. You're disrespectful.
To say we're better than animals is to disrespect nature.
Nothing is lost in translation.
Tons is actually, and many carry quotes as if they were Christian when they never really were, such as "God Helps Those Who Help Themselves" actually originating from Ancient Greek Drama.
Everything you are meant to hear, you hear. I don't read the English bible so I can't answer your question.
Any Bible that isn't in it's mother tongue is more prone to interpretation, and if you're going with the determinism angle then you're also saying that the majority were meant to hear the things that end up causally responsible for their trip to Hell's Furnace:
Revelations 14:1-4: Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
144,000 isn't that many people, while the rest are meant to be God's army on Earth during The Rapture with the aim of building the second Eden.
