To those of You who answered "NO".
This means the bible verse is WRONG?
You are saying that the word of god is WRONG?

Paulcyp: Do you realize you are contradicting yourself? He planned it and saw it happen but didn't "schedule" it? What's the difference?
If he knew it was going to happen then it HAD TO HAPPEN.....NO matter WHAT! Otherwise, god wouldn't have "known".
Don't you see what this means???
It means 1 of 2 things:
1. god doesn't know everything
OR
2. god does know everthing and we have no choice in what happens because it was PRE-PLANNED.
Think about what that means!!!!!!

Sounds to me like you already have your mind made up, but I'll answer them for the heck of it.
1. YES, he knew me before he formed me in the womb
2. NO, we have free will. God is omniscient, meaning he knows everything, but that doesn't mean he dictated my every move before I was even born, it just means that subconciously he knows the choices I will most likely make.
3. Nope
4. Because Dahmer was evil
5. Because they were innocent.
Think of it like this, evil is what happens when good is missing. God's plan for man was perfect, but Satan took away the good from it and distorted it. My suggestion to you is to stop blaming God for the evil that men do, and start blaming Satan.

Good Question and I will give my opinion only.
Questions 1 to 4 are Yes [Make sure saw also includes Knew about it all]
Question 4 explained: We did not put him in jail because I had no part in that. Someone did because it was God's plan for God's reasons. There is no promise to anyone that they will not go to jail, live a long life, etc. its all My God who is in control for his own reasons OK..
Question 5, Is not the feel sorry for a personal choice. I accept it was God's plan and I do not know Dahmer person or any of his victims. I do not feel sorry for them but maybe if I knew the story I may do that but that is a learned emotion from the world and not from the heart and mind of God. However if I do express something I can accept that it is also God's plan that I do whatever I do and that I should learn from it.
My friend I know that most do not really understand the plan of God. That is in my view thus I chose to be a "NO" the only "NO" I know and not join any other group. For me My God's plan is perfect and clear. That is why I say YES to your first 4 questions OK

Question 1. (yes or no): God saw us BEFORE we were Born?
A: YES
Question 2. (yes or no): God SCHEDULED Each Day of our lives BEFORE we began to Breathe?
A: He scheduled the time we would have. He did not "schedule" the free choices we would make during that time.
Question 3. (yes or no): When Jeffrey Dahmer killed people and ate them....God knew it was going to happen and actually Scheduled it BEFORE Dahmer was born?
A: YES. God knows everything, including the free choices people will make contrary to His plan.
Question 4. (Explain) Why would we put Dahmer (or anyone else) in prison for something God knew about and Scheduled in advance?
A: God knew about it because He is outside of time, and therefore already saw Dahmer do it. God did not schedule it. He does not "schedule" acts contrary to His plan. He gave us free will, and WE make our own decisions, either in accord with His will or in violation of His will.
Question 5. (Explain) Why would we feel sorry for Dahmer's victims if their murders were part of gods schedule?
A: Sin is never part of God's plan. It is our deviation from His plan, and we alone are completely responsible for it.

1 Yes
2 Yes
3 Yes
4 Because if we do it then no matter what it was on our schedule to put this man in prison.
5 Yes and No, if the people who died were Christians than we shouldn't feel sorry, it was their time to be with God. If they weren't Christians we should feel sorry because they have an eternity of regret ahead of them. Also since sin came into the world at the hand of humanity so did death. Thus the death is humanities fault not Gods. God knew Jeffery Dahmers sin nature thus he knew how to schedule Dahmers life. Sad isn't it you can't change your nature only God can, and He won't either unless you let Him. Praise the Lord that so many people do give their nature over to God. Oh another thing, God doesn't choose who goes to Hell and who doesn't he just plans around those who won't choose Him. He knew that Jeffery Dahmer probably wouldn't choose Him so He planned around that.

Answer # 1 Yes he saw you before you were born..question # 2 yes all of your days were recorded...answer # 3 yes God Knew it was going to happen..nothing takes God by surprise...answer #4 just because God KNEWit does not mean that Dahmer did not have a CHOICE and therefore does not get him off the hook ..and Answer #5 just because God knew things were going to happen he did not caused them to happen..he just had fore knowledge that it would always remember that our rebellion and sin caused the evil things of this world not God; who is loving and Holy...he knew it would happen but did not cause it ...and also what Satan meant for our harm God can use for good.
