That can be comforting at times (i.e. whatever is happening to me is God's will, his way of teaching me something...etc.), but it can also be extremely disturbing (when your child dies are you to assume that it is God's will? What kind of God kills your child to teach you something, etc.).

I am more of an Open Theorist, and so don't subscribe to the Blueprint theory.

no, He said in His word how it's going to END.

how we get there is entirely up to us.
