Answer 2

100% predestined. The reason is man proposes and GOD disposes. Each and every action of ours is predestined. The thing to understand is that we ourselves are the creators of our destiny through our own karmas (deeds) over various births that are given to us. We have been endowed with a faculty to opt between right and wrong action. If our deeds are sinful how can we hope to receive blessings? What we shall sow we shall reap is the true dictum of our destinies.Each and every moment is predestined.we might see some of our planning successful but that was also predestined.From the moment of conception to the birth and the whole journey of life till our last breath is cent percent destined. According to the New Testament, some are predestined for salvation and some are not. Predestination is about our final destination, not every thing we do.Romans 8:27-30 says we are predestined. The predestined is the life that we are actually living as a result of your past accumulated karmas in the past or previous births. Every single action has a matching reaction. Our life depends upon three things, i.e.,Fate,destiny, and freewill. Hinduism strongly believe that one's life is predetermined according to his 'karma'. These are your actions in the past many lives you led that keep returning to give you good or not good returns in your present life. Buddhism does not accept the concept of God. Only 'Karma' and resultant events in one's life. We can control anything within our framework. Hence God gave us freewill. ===== Trisha ======
