If I know that you as a male will urinate standing up most of the time, did I just make you predestined to urinate? or is it just something you do?
This is the nature of Gods wisdom.

I am not sure what Bible you are reading so I can't speak for other religions, but I am Catholic and no, we do not believe in such a thing. Each human has a free will and each human can resist temptation or let it take them over. We believe that even after death of the body it is possible to accept God (ie Purgatory).
Actually, if it were predestined for individuals to go to Heaven or Hell, there would have been no need for God to send Jesus. Good question! Good luck.

yes!, you have open a bit, to the true, the only thing I can do, is to felicitate your self, allow me to say, this isn't to procrastinate what I perceived have become your own experience, although lol..., such is what you ask, a motive of happiness for my self and rejoice, and take this what I'm saying with the grain of salt. But, the reason being, why I'm trying to seriously show you, that getting to a new and higher level of awareness, perhaps it hasn't happen yet, in you but that is exactly the direction you are heading for. As well that the reason why there is such a predetermine conclusions in the Bible about this, is because the basic source for the creation of life, is the Energy, and while to day the living energies are all part and they are scatter whit in the four kingdoms. Scatter because I really don't know in which state a living energy will be able to achieved the Human forms, from plans, fish, animals or Birds. But, there is the purpouses of creation. Remember this God didn't create a religion, although Jesus left a form of religion behind, even to save more, as Satan will be closing in, into affecting other Humans, to desmantwel jesus own achievements. Sample Judas, the one apostol that sold Jesus, to the Romans, It has comes to my knowledge that Yes Judas kill him self, after words, but don't discount that such a mentality is steal some place around, to prove the work of Satan, against Not Jesus, or Judas, or even against God?, But against the destruction of ....................(fill the blanck), dreams, desires, and needs to grow, learn and expand?, into a new existence and into a life of consciouisness and awareness, imagination creativity, something has begun to scape from my scope of been my self just one more servant of God, need to achieved a body, a physical entity that HIM(God), could use to store knowledge, experiences and so, forth. sorry lol this isn't preching, is fellings and love for what you show me God gift of Intelligent to man, can achieved within the brain matter of a man, a Human and best of all an Intelligent being. please imply in it! God bless you in the name of his only Son?, Jesus. Amen ..., lol... because you are his Son too.

Some of us have signs on them. It means something more at the beginning. Maybe something from far past. Dont realy know about that. Sometimes it means greater purpose of life but also great risk of evil temptation. Those who learned a weight of responsibility of power possesion knows what it means. Some of us are more like blank page of papper, but it doesnt mean easier, worse or better, but only a diffrent way and diffrent paths to choose... Whole answers are on the end and the end is similar for us all. Like coil conecting rooths into pine of tree leading to its crown or to fall on the ground when to weak to reach the sky. Bible have clues... find them, see them, comprehend... Be strong and useful.

It depends on what religion is interpreting it. The Calvinists strongly believe that predestiny was a key part of the Bible and Christianity.The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that whether or not you will go to Heaven is predetermined, and reserved for a small number. Most Christian sects, however, don't believe in fate. They choose to interpret those passages in other ways.

The only type of predestination the Bible teaches is the kind where every person gets to make their own choices in all things, God takes all that into account, and brings about his own will in the end, anyway.
The Bible expressly states that God desires all to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
I hope he gets his way on that one, too.

Let's look at Romans 8:28ff
8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
God is the ultimate source of determinism.

We all have free will. But, God's purpose is that we all come to know Him. For that reason, He gives all the chance to know who He is, so that we cannot be held blameless, saying we did not know.
