From the Sabbath afternoon section comes this interesting comment:
The ancient Greeks believed in fate; your destiny was decided beforehand by the gods, and that was it. This ideal was expressed in Homer's Iliad, when the great Trojan warrior Hector says to his wife (who had been begging him not to go back to battle, fearing that he would surely die), "No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No man alive has escaped it, neither brave man nor coward."—Iliad, trans. Robert Fagles (New York: Penguin Books, 1990), p. 212.
That's not, however, the biblical position. We are not objects of cold fate; we have no predetermined destiny, except one: eternal life with Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:1-11). God's plan was for all of us to find salvation in Jesus: That's why Jesus' death was for the whole world, with no one left out.
That we all aren't saved shows that our fate isn't sealed beforehand. Our future is open. We have choices to make, choices that will determine our destiny.
Does everybody agree with the above comment?

I haven't gone through the whole week yet, but it seems to be shaping up as another case of what we wish Solomon said, instead of what he actually said. I feel exegesis is lacking this whole quarter. But that might be inherent to Ecclesiastes. I think we would have been better off going into Exodus after Genesis. That's how the Bible has it.  But then, I'm partial to Exodus.
By God's grace,
Arnold
1 John 5:11-13
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
