Latest FB post from a TBM friend: "If you think you've blown God's plan for your life, rest in this: You, my friend are not that powerful."
Doesn't seem to be a mormon quote, but what the hell does that mean?

Free agency? Pfffft..

Haha. What a quote.

As the Wicked Witch of the West said, "Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why my little party's just beginning."

The Mormon church supposes their flying monkeys to be more powerful than they are.

There are 300million in the Hindu Pantheon alone.
Each with a different plan.
If all their plans were carried out, it would result in total anihilatoon of all matter.
The creator I believe in is Einstein's God, only one who does play dice with the universe, on a quauntum scale, kind of hoe the God Particle works, only the dice are loaded in favor of matter, life and consciousness, otherwise we wouldnt exist and neither would consciousness.

"You my friend are not that powerful." But you will be if you endure to the end, have a temple marriage, and follow the brethren; hell, you'll even get your own planet! The Mormon Center for Truth-Related Advertising, or Mormon CTR-A!

This is just another form of the common phrase "everything happens for a reason".

When someone says "everything happens for a reason," I think a
fun thing to do is to punch them in the face and say, "this was
meant to be."

you don't have the power to thwart god's plan ? Shouldn't we then release everyone who is in prison because they were just carrying out god's plan ?

I think of it as MY plan for MY life. And if there is such a thing as a pre-existence, I still think it was my plan and no one else's.

I've often joked to myself that my life has been so useful to others that I am bound to have a long and healthy one, whether I want it or not -- because that's the plan. lol

That really gives me a warm feeling.

God is that stone rolling down the mountain. You had better get the fuck out of the way or you'll be crushed.

I love this, baura! It reminds me of a Jack Handy quote, Exactly how I feel when someone says that to me, trying to explain why I had a stroke, and am paralyzed on my left side! Thank you for this :) Regarding the OP, I understand it to mean that you are not more powerful than God!

Oh but you do have the power...by not following commandments and callings which then doom you to lower heaven. Or earn you wrath and punishment.
