everything in life is pre-determined no matter what choice you make in life....anyone agree?

Here's a simple exercise.  Go down to the train tracks and throw yourself in front of an onrushing train.  If you are hit and killed, whether or not it was predetermined is something you can investigate on the other side.  Maybe.

God doesn't plan your life he just knows your decisions and its outcomes before you do. We have free will and common sense a gift or blessing God gave to all of us. But our sufferings on earth doesn't have any comparisons to our paradise in heaven!

Yes I am what I am by predestination, But that did not take away my free will, God gave us all a free will, But since God Knows the beginnning to the end, & by his foreknowledge as to what decsions we will make, Then based upon him knowing all things, then God can predestinate anyone based upon his knowledge as to what path we will take.

We choose the experiences that we need to learn from, before we are born. Our memories of before and after (Eternity) end with our birth, so that we may fully evolve from our experiences in this classroom called Earth. While we are here, we see only a beginning and end to life and seldom understand the entire picture. Here, we lead a linear existence from day to day, but eternity has no time as we know it. A crippled child, who chose to be so for his own reasons, perhaps to provide a lesson for others, perhaps to provide the way to a medical cure, may live 60 years here, but that would be just a twinkling of an eye in the grand scheme. No, God does not ever choose for us. We do our own choosing in all things. He gave us our own free will. It takes a very strong and good soul to be willing to suffer in order to help others.

I do believe that it is.  For the past is what forges our future.  For example, all the things that happen to you in life help make you the person you are today.  You choices in life either make you a stronger person, or will defeat you in the end.

The term "destiny" often implies predetermined: the word used is "predestination."  But free will is a real thing, and you are indeed responsible for your own choices.  The whole "free will vs. determinism" question has been debated ad nauseum in philosophy.  To me, the concept that there is an all-seeing being who can predict what you will decide does not mitigate your responsibility to decide as wisely as you can, and so the question is moot.

Only in this world is there choice.  But this is a double edged sword.  We as people can make good choices or bad choices.  That is up to us alone.  This world is a good place, nowhere else can we have choice.  Every moment it begins a new as being good.  It will either remain good by good choices, and be made bad by our choices.  But even if we turn it bad by one choice, the next choice comes and the world is good again, and we have a chance to make it better with a good decision.  We simply need to know what is good to do and what is bad to do and break ourselves of the bad things.

Yes, there is such place. BUt you know what? we should not let our own happiness depends on the people around us. let happiness become our choice. this is your life, you have the freedom to choose a life that you wanted.

Life is all about choices. Chocolate or vanilla. Regular or supersize. Would you like fries with that? No one can force you to choose, but we will all be held accountable for our choices. Choose well my friend.

It is certainly balanced with determinism.  Each situation that happens we can choose how we handle it.  We did not choose the situation, we can choose the solution.

Because free will is all about choices. God know before a person chooses but HE doesnt choose for that person...its up to the person...People are finite, GOD IS INFINITE. That's what makes HIM GOD!!! And if you dont get it...be not dismayed...neither do I...but I believe and have faith in HIM who created heaven and earth.  He wants our love and He wants us to choose HIM...ptl

Ok, prepair yourself.  Before God even began creating the earth he has known EVERYTHING.  He knew that you would ask this question and that i would answer it.  God's choice is more God's will, and we are all in God's will.  If he wills it, it IS. \n\nIts easier to think of as a destiny.  He has the path set and we follow it.  Eventhough we are making our own desicions they are not new to Him.

Your life is over when you die. That's it. And until the moment of your death you are alive and can make decisions.

I think that decision can only be made by God Himself.\n\nAnd even then it's done by an individual by individual basis, not a group basis.

I beleive in reincarnation, therefore afterlife and before life are the same time, it's really just between lives.  I also beleive that you choose your own life(you want to learn from your life).  That  could be a major part of before life.

The answer depends on your beliefs in free will.  If you believe that God knows everything that is going to happen and has control over it then yes you are correct.  If you believe that God made us, but we have free will over our lives then he did not know what would happen.  The other theory could be that God gave us free will, but he already knew the choices that would be made.  It all depends on what you believe.
