Do you believe God has planned everything before we were even born to this world

First of all I BELIEVE IN GOD. Secondly I do not believe that God has planned our lives for one simple reason. FREE WILL. God granted man free will and therefore could not have planned our existence. I do believe that God places leads us in a direction and it up to us whether or not we choose to take that path.

Humans have been given free will as has already been noted. If God had preplanned our entire lives it would be very frustrating for us to try to exercise free will against that. 2 Peter 1:10 says "Do your utmost to make the calling and choosing of you sure for yourselves; for if you keep on doing these things you will by no means ever fail." If they were predestined to succeed they would not have to 'keep on doing these things'. This shows that effort is required. Ecclesiastes 9:11 tells us "that time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all." Now the question of whether God knows all our actions and choices in advance is another question.

Well, I do not really believe in God, but if I did, I don't really know if he would plan things out for us. If he did, he would not have any reason to punish us. He would have then created our personalities, which are molded by our experiences. I think it is possible, though, that we are who we are for a reason. Everyone is completely different, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all. We all believe different things, and we all see them differently. How we grow up completely changes our beliefs and stances. We can't help how we grow up or how our life goes, though we do control some of it. There's more than one way to live life, so I think that if everything is planned, our beliefs and customs are not what is being judged, but our intentions.

Somehow I still believe in a higher being, which for me is nameless. I choose not to name Him, because I don't want to be constrained to a certain religion or faith and naming exactly does that. My thoughts on this matter is disorganized. I've always wanted to believe that we have free will. If everything is planned, and there is destiny for each one of us, then there's no more free will. However, the thought that all things, both good and evil, contributes to God's plan goes against that principle. I choose to believe we have free will, so I choose to believe there's no plan for each of us as well. Perhaps I'll put it this way: God up there can see visions of our own future but can do nothing about it except steer us towards that direction, but we always have the will to do things our way.

I do not believe in god or any supernatural being ... my theory is pretty simple... i believe our mind is the culprit ...what is mean to say is ...for example lets say A is the truth but as we all have different minds we will see A as B,C or D... this is just like looking through a coloured glass..red glass will make us believe everything is red simailarly a blue glass and so on... so actually we never get to see or realise the truth...
