“I don't think it's predestined. This season for a lot of teams in a lot of ways has been about survival. We've both survived in probably the most difficult division.”
Theo Epstein
“Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”
Bible
“Intimates are predestined”
Henry Brooks Adams
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
“There seems to be this predestined path that he's going to be in the major leagues [soon]. It's like anything else; it is up to opportunity and his performance. He's only had 10 [pro] outings, and that's really not a good sample size for us to say 'Yeah, he's the guy.' But, maybe he'll prove that he is.”
Ben Cherington
“Outside belief, I wonder how people could be absolutely certain about something which needs forever to prove, like polemic between the concept of 'free will' against 'predestination' amongst the scholars.”
Toba Beta
“If you believe in predestination, then there is no reason to regret anything. If you believe in free-will, then there is no reason to acknowledge the prophecy. If you believe in both, then you are just looking for an easier way to perceive reality. If you don't believe in both, then you may have an eccentric way of understanding life.”
