What I mean is how your life ends up meaning the love of you life, what kind of job you end up having etc. Or does it say in there that you make your own destiny and you have the power to make miracles in your life?

I have only one suggestion...read the Holy Bible for yourself. You will find your answer. I read it through several times last year and have reached a higher place than I have found before.

Why do you think that these two views are opposite? Every thing is determined in your life because the laws of nature are invincible. At the same time, you have the power to achieve anything you want. You do not realize it, so you don't enjoy that power. This is predetermined. The laws nature are invincible and brings you more and more knowledge. When you will realize that you have the power to do anything you want, you will enjoy it. You will do exactly what you want in a determined manner. There will be no difference between "I do that" or "Nature does that". It is all predetermined.

The Bible suggests that you have free will to choose your own destiny but then contradicts itself by defining God as an all knowing and all powerful creator. If God made you and knows all things then he already knew every choice you are going to make and untimately already knew your final destiny (heaven or hell) prior to your creation. If he created you even after knowing the outcome of your life then you never had any choice at all. Taking that one step further, imagine how Satan must feel knowing that God created him already knowing that he would be cast into the lake of fire. Talk about entrapment!

To answer this question, I'm going to use a video game as an illustration.
In a video game, every possible outcome, for every possible action, is built into the game. The results of the game is based upon the choices you make.
This same principle applies to Life. All outcomes exist for every possible action. The choices you make, during the moments of your life, determine what manifests in your physical reality.
In not so many words... What happens in your life, is determined by YOU, and only YOU.

No!
because the Bible clearly says in Proverbs 27:1; James 4:14
Prov 27:1 "Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."
James 4:14 "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

The Bible says that God knows what will happen, the choices we will make, etc., but that doesn't mean that we are predestined in the sense of not having free will. Since God is omniscient and is not bound by the constraints of time, He is able to see the beginning and end of time and what will happen.

Why imagine on such miracle when you have no power like God?Remain as you are in matters of spiritual but in real life, strive to get the best.

I believe that we go through things for a reason. Especially bad things in life. We learn from these issues.
For instance, I had a childhood accident that has taught me a lot. That accident has taught me compassion which would not be there if I had not learned to walk a mile in those mocassins.
So, when bad things happen in my life, I ask God what he wants me to learn from these episodes.

No place that I know of, if fact, the constant resound of the bible is that God has a destiny for us; but we are creatures of free will....therefore, choosing our own future.
