Many believers hold that by divine decree before humans are born, God determines all that will happen to people, including the length of their life, whether they will be male or female, rich or poor, miserable or happy.
Daudzi ticīgie domā, ka Dievs jau tad, kad cilvēks vēl nav piedzimis, izlemj visu, kas ar to notiks, nosaka, cik ilgi cilvēks dzīvos, vai tas būs vīrietis vai sieviete, bagāts vai nabags, nelaimīgs vai laimīgs.
