| | | | | Free will Vs. God's plan < on 1/19/2005 11:45 AM > | Reply with Quote
| | | This subject was kinda brought up in another thread. It is my understanding that God has plans for each of us, in particular, regarding our mate. My question is, if God has these plans for us, where does our free will come in, besides the decision to believe? If we have free will, shouldn't the decision of who we're with be 100% our own? But if it is, what of God's plan?? I am confused, and about to search my bible, but I was hoping someone would know where to point me in regards to this, or perhaps have opinions on the subject.
| So I said "Why don't you shove it where the sun don't shine" and so he did. He put it in the cupboard under the stairs and it hasn't been mentioned since. -Stephen Fry |

| From my readings of the Bible, God may know how long we may live, but how we live it is up to us. There are some subsects of Christianity which have the dogma that God has planned our lives out for us, but this seems to negate free will and makes the denouncement of non-Christians pointless as God knew they wouldn't follow Him anyway.
