Mary had a free will, all she had to do was tell God NO, Just put that seed in another woman.

God did NOT set our destination. If He did, it would completely nullify Jesus' death on the cross. If you're a Christian, you would totally understand my point.

You make your own destination by how you live your life. God did not make you a robot, he gave you a mind to think for yourself.

Who says God sets our destiny???? haha God said we have free will and we do! just as I am sitting here typing im choosing to push the bottons on the board. I don't see God doing it for me. God never says he sets it for us, He says he knows what we will choose, and he accepts it no matter we choose. He still must judge us for what we choose, but he doesn't decide for us........ So young and lost nowadays.

He has not "set our destination".
God's desire is for all to come to Him.
You have the choice to say yes or no.
He has predestined all to be with Him, BUT...YOU have to accept or reject His offer.

to the person above. yeah it does. God created us knowing everything we were going to do, and even set up what we where going to do and who we where going to meet, and and what we would say.
Its in the bible. Look it up.
and yes, it does take away free will.
Dosnt that also mean that god planned all aboritions, then punishes you for something he destinized?
(god, religion just opens up more questions than it answers.)

Everything is your choice. The Good Lord would love for us to do HIS will and not our own, but that is the choice you were given.

If you have two choices in front of you and I know which one you're going to pick, does it change the fact that you have free will to chose either one?

2 Thess. 2:13, "But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth." [Emphasis added]
God chose those who would be saved before they were born. This means that, equally, those of us going to hell were destined to go to hell before we were born. So, christians, you can't really blame us for not believing, it's your God's fault for not choosing us.
