First off, I am agnostic.. so I am not trying to bash anyone's beliefs.. I am just trying to sort this out..
Much of what a Christian believes is heavily reliant on a person's ability to make a choice.. that God has given us free will.. After all without free will choices would not be possible.. neither would morals for that matter..
And YET whenever something bad happens, all I hear from Christians is "It was meant to be", or "It was part of God's plan".. These are very deterministic statements.. and very contradictory to the belief in free will.. If everything is "meant to be" then NOTHING is left to choice.. every so-called decision we make is just part of "God's plan".
So my question is, do you believe God has given us free will, or do you believe that God has a plan? It is not possible to have both, and of that you cannot convince me otherwise..
Just curious what Christians REALLY believe..
