I believe GOD is "All Knowing". HE has seen the begining and the end for everyone. BUT I believe we choose our own paths(make our own decisions). We are not robots and have been given "free will" to make both good & bad choices !

I believe we create our own destiny. Just for thought, if we look at the drug  addict homeless person. Would a God create that or was that destiny created by the individual?

Michael - I believe it is a little of both. I have seen more people end up successful by being in the right place at the right time, or simply by mistake, or just being truly lucky. Other people have worked very hard, and done all the right things to get where they are, yet are still struggling and can't get a break. Who is really to say whether that is all due to destiny, or because some people are truly just made the right decision.

I believe that God has a plan for all of us.  I also believe we have free will and stray from God's plan for us.  I believe the plan is fulfilled when we rely on God to guide our decisions.

TeamChi - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. Religion & Politics, my two favorite subjects.  Both have gotten me into trouble most of my life.

The beauty of God is that we were given free will much in the manner of a Democracy.  We have the ability to make choices, good or bad, and suffer the benefits or consequences.  People wonder why people are murdered or starving, it's part of the free will.  God judges all of us based upon our lives.  Someone starving in Africa has the same opportunity to make it to heaven as someone born with a silver spool in their mouth.

God intervenes whenever it is time to do so.

Both are correct, God does want you to by happy and successful and already knows how you will proceed, it is up to us to decide what this role will be, will we take responsibility for our actions and live a life of achievement or live a life of quiet desperation allowing others to determine our fate while complaining about our lot in life.
