This plan is inevitably how all things will come about. (good or bad) If this is the case hasn't "God" already "planned" every abortion that occurs thereby making "sinners" of every person who is merely following "his" will?
No need to beat me up over this, just seeking opinion.

There is a symmetry between free will and pre-destination that no one has ever been able to understand as far as I know. However, my understanding is that God is both inside and outside of time (it being a creation of His). Therefore He knows the past, present, and future simultaneously. That is one of the many things that makes Him God. But He is perfect and just, so I do not believe He condones abortion or any other murder.

Yes, God knows of every baby that will be aborted. But this all goes back to free will of man. Not God's will. I do not believe that it is God's will for women to murder unborn babies. I believe all people (born and unborn) have a purpose. But, because we do have free will, this is the kind of thing that happens. I do believe that God does punish women for abortions. There are many women who have abortions for whatever reason, and then try later in life to have a baby and are unable to. Because of scarring, complications due to abortion, etc. I think God says, "Okay, you don't want a baby, you won't have a baby." This is not all situations but, it does happen to alot of women.
Please do not confuse free will with God's allowance or tolerance.

Humans have told God they want to do things THEIR way. They tell Him that they can do things better than He can.
Seems He has, mostly, stepped aside and lets them destroy human lives -- including abortions. He has not WILLED them to do it; He has PERMITTED it. Seems He will allow Humanity to reach the very point of totally destroying the whole earth and all of God's perfect Creation (for He saw that it was "very good").
Then, and only then, He will step onto the scene, right every wrong, and bring in His Kingdom of Righteousness.

You are absolutely correct. THis has to be so.....however, the Christians will throw the theory of free will at you, expecting you to believe that we are actually capable of having free will while being part of an "overall plan..."
Furthermore, what you have just shown is that, by its very definition, Hitler, therefore, must be a saint - after all, God KNEW those 3-6 million Jews were going to be killed, so Hitler was simply doing God's work! Not a sinner, not the most evil person ever to live - just another of God's messengers.....
Thanks God Im not part of that religion! (pun intended)

To many people turn to the bible for answers and interpret it as a divine plan, I do not believe God ever had a plan he just created us and every thing else it was no big deal to him.

God's plan coming to fruition is accomplished in spite of the wickedness in the earth (not because of). God works all things for the good of those who love him and are called according to his will and purpose.

We don't have the answer why he does what he does. The outcome will be as his plan long ago. Increase of wickedness and the destruction of the earth. Jesus will gather his people and have battle at Megiddo. Then a new earth to enjoy!

NO. You see, the Predesignated plan of God was Christ's coming. He Predestined that those who accepted Him would be Saved.
God has always known what men would do, but He didn't plan their sins. He planed their opportunity to be saved.

no God doesn't plan evil, thats satan's job. God is in control always, but if people don't want Him to help them, He steps aside and let's them do whatever they want without His help.
