Does Christianity believe in determinism?

I have no actual beliefs, I'm just making stuff up that sounds good lol. (I'm actually an atheist). To answer your question, some of them do (calvinists) some of them don't (armenians). my alter ego doesn't care, he is a 95-IQ chad that just wants to praise jesus for gods sake

Hard determinism is actually my only real belief. If you believe that every force and piece of matter is measurable and calculable, anything else is impossible.

Eh, I'm pretty sure it's practically impossible to actually calculate every force in the universe.
Outside of semantics, is a deterministic universe where no one can actually determine what will happen really that different from a non-deterministic one?

Not everything is calculable though. If you entangle two photons and measure them a million miles away, one of them will be spin up and the other will be spin down with 50% probability. We have no ability even in principle to predict or calculate which will be which even knowing 100% of the information in the system.

Them not being calcuable is not the same as them not being deterministic though. We just can't show it.

I'm going off of what @transmission_enjoyer said: measurable and calculable. If you think determinism can exist without being calculable even in principal, then I'd question what your definition of "determinism" is? I think you run into unresolvable philosophical issues if you say determinism can exist without certainty in outcome.

Even the ones that say they don't believe in it, they all believe that God is omniscient of the past present and future, created each one of us, knew everything we would ever do and if we would end up in heaven or heck, and still chose to make us that way.
So yeah, all Christianity is by necessity determinist.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Nope, because if you subscribe to the classical theistic school of thought (as the overwhelming majority of Christian theologians/philosophers did in the past, and the majority in the present still do), God isn't just a being in the universe, but exists outside of it, and therefore isn't constrained by time and causality. Past, present and future are the same thing for him.
This means that even Aquinas, who argued in favor of the complete foreknowledge of God of all things and predestination, can still be interpreted as a free will libertarian.
Jump in the discussion.

I mean he's looking at the universe he created and knew how it would all play out based on how he made it. Those theologians just came up with some wordplay so they can always say "nuh uh, you're wrong, God isn't they way you're describing him because whatever you said doesn't apply to him."
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's more like him existing in the future, the present and the past simultaneously.
Basically, think of it as being fundamentally analogous to time travel.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I can grasp that but being an omniscient and omnipotent Prime Cause, knowing precisely how your present actions will create future events where your mind exists at the same time, and still having chosen to do things that way, it not only makes everything your fault, but it really doesn't give us much leeway to say that we are truly making choices.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
As opposed to naturalism plainly stating that everything that has happened and will ever happen is determined by the arbitrary arrangement of matter in the Big Bang and the arbitrary set of physical laws that governs the universe?
If one takes such a reductionist view, then free will doesn't exist in either scenario.
Your free will is contingent on the set of possibilities that's at your disposal; it isn't completely free, but arguing that because of that it doesn't exist at all is a massive stretch.

What's the argument here though? A baby is a fricking dumb useless noisy lump of meat until it's not, so I don't see what there point is.
If it's OK to kill cells it's OK to kill a baby by this logic. Both have the same potential.

Think people just need to be honest and move away from this whole debate around at what point does human life begin nonsense.
Its a balance between the mother's rights and the unborn baby's rights with the two sides disagreeing where that balance lies.
My solution is to provide abortions by way of medically-induced deliveries. If the baby survived, the mother has to keep it. If the baby dies, the abortion was a success. This approach solves all the complexity and should make everyone happy.

I understand your pain. Redditors are too stupid to clarify what they're arguing about, so let's try:
Translation: The definition of a baby involves more than just a thoughtless, unaware, senseless collection of cells. [Implied: there has to be something else to fully constitute a "baby."]
Translation: I partially agree; however, the viability of the fetus and [somehow] the intense desire of the woman wanting the baby are relevant.
That's it. No, I'm not going to look at the thread for additional context. It's an issue of semantics, mainly revolving around "personhood status." No philosopher has figured that out, so the abortion debate will rage on.
The "flip a coin" method is nice, but few will appreciate its ineffectiveness. Yeah, the rights of both parties matter, but again you're begging the question by assuming that the unborn baby is a person with said rights. You want to avoid that semantics issue, but ya can't. No one really can.
I'd just settle for <12-20 weeks = abortion zone.

But that's not true now. Ignoring abortions entirely, if a woman gets pregnant, carries the pregnancy to term, and gives birth to a healthy child, they're still allowed to just dump them at a safe harbor location and sever all ties.

No one in the abortion debate actually gives a frick about convincing arguments.
It's why no one ever bothers with defining when exactly a fetus becomes a sentient human being: libs might as well say consciousness starts outside of the womb while rightoids pretend a zygote is somehow already a fully-fledged human being.
They're both ridiculous bullshit, and that's the point.
