Do you think that god has planned out our whole lives or just puts certain people in put lives to introduce certain events?
I don't think god has planned anything in my life. I think things happen for a reason and others help influences what might happen with there interaction in my life.

I see G-d as a chess player. We have free will . So We make a move and G-d replies in turn. Our choices help makes our fate. The rest is G-d.

I disagree that beats the reason to why we have free will. I agree that ever choice has an out come but I don't think any person is behind it. Everyone's choices in ice affects everyone weather you know them or not. One little changes everything. Like the story of when you throw a rock in a pound you change the pound but ibyou take the rock out of the pound it doesn't change the pound back to what it was with out the rock before it changed again and it keeps changing.

I think he has a plan for everyone, we just don't know what it is and we don't know when we will know what that plan is.
I wasn't suppose to live and here I am almost 60 years later.

I'm the other side where I feel no one has power over me but me and nobody can plan my life but me. If god has plans then why do people have choices? It's kind of hard to believe if suppossibly gave us free will that would take a way free will to choice the path and what goes on in our lives. I believe every choice we make has a consequence some are good and some are bad but each q toons changes what might happen.

I don't think there is a wrong answer it's just something worg what ever some feels is right for them. I see it as of there is free will then we can do anything and god wouldn't want to take that right away.

If there is a "god" he, she or it would have a plan but not for individuals but for the whole of the universe and we have no way of knowing what that plan is

Hello I'm answer to the first post only. If there is a god there is free will god made free will to allow people to choice as they wan and if there is q higher power as I say man or women can not control a person choices of there life and plan out what he or she can not do. As I see it we choice how our lives goes ever action we choices gives us good or bad consequences.

Completely agree with the first part. However "I" believe that we are supposed to know what is going on. As I have learned gods love i have learned how perfect his "plan" is. If we were never supposed to know why we are here then why put us here as "pawns". if there is a "plan" then why would we just be a being that lives. Why can't LIFE be the plan. Why can't existence, and not humans but every equal pairede opposite in nature, be the answer the the why? because in that answer, which i accept as fact, god created us from himself out of an expression of love. Therefore everything is the plan and the plan is to express love.

If God had planned our lives, we wouldn't have the right to choose, and God Himself gave us that right. He has a plan of salvation for us through the acceptance of the gift of His Son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Even this we have the right to choose or reject.

That's what believe as well even though I'm not religious.

I disagree because if God has a plan for us all then that takes away all of our free will to choice the life we live and the consequences that go with it.

Hello. I have recently come across a new way of looking at things of this sort that may be of help to you. There is a man named Walter Russell. He claimed to have been "illumined" with knowledge of god and how the universe works. At first I was skeptical but as I am an open minded person I kept looking into it. The main idea behind Russell's explanations is that every single action in the universe is an opposite of another action. For example, for every decompression of liquid water into water vapor there must, sometime, be a compression of that vapor back into water. You can look through all of the sciences and see that that is fact. Based on that statement could one not say that the universe is based on love? Let me explain a bit further. If the water never decompressed into vapor then there would be no vapor that could condense to make water. So without one giving itself to the other neither could exist! Now see if you can find an action in life that you cannot base on balanced love of two opposites giving to each other so that they may both exist. Would that not then mean that there is no "plan" per say but there is a final answer "love". This, at least to me, is as perfect of an explanation of creation as i believe i will ever find. I hope this helps you and if you would like and further information i can provided you a website that has Walter’s teachings. They changed my life!

Im not looking to further my believes. I don't think or geeky hat god has any power over my life or anyone's for that matter. No hight power has any control over a person unless you want them too. I believe the choices that we make changes the out comes of out lives.
