Were our lives planned? Yes or No Answers plz?

Question

Did God plan for people to go to hell? And did he also plan for some babies to die right after they are born?
If he did not plan out our lives, does he not know all? I have been told that God is TOTALLY omniscient

Thumbs-up for all the answers~!

Sorry for the Yes or No only factor...
I just think that there is one answer...either yes or no O.o

Answer 1

I'm an atheist.

So, there is no God.

Flame me, I don't care.

Answer 2

Hello Cindy Kim. When I started to learn about Re-incarnation, and Karma, I discovered that every individual on this earth was born from an original spark.That is you as an individual, have progressed from many other people in a succession of Incarnations.It is estimated that most individuals can have as many as 35 incarnations over a period of 5000 years.The next part of your question. God gave us free will. Exercising this ability gives us the opportunity to either lead a productive, healthy, positive life, or be a totally negative soul and wallow in despair most of the time.It is from this ability,that our opportunity to advance spiritually is determined.There isn't any Hell, but there is a place of retribution.The reason babies die sometimes at birth is it is part of that soul's Karmic journey. God has no say in the matter. He was the inventor. We have all the same rules.A good inventor doesn't suddenly change the parts around.

Answer 3

I wish you allowed more than yes or no but in order

no
no
yes

not including the top two in the bold


edit: so having seen your amendment I will expound upon my answers. God did not plan for people to go to hell.......but he couldn't force us to love him because that isn't true love....but because of free will there is also consequences of not loving him and that just happens to be an eternity out of the presence of the Lord in whatever image of hell you want to accept. He does not want that for his creation but it is a choice that is ours to make. He also didn't plan for some babies to die right after they are born but he can take that situation and help people through it and help people grow spiritually....now an illustration had been said of someone sitting on top of a hill and below seeing two cars heading towards eachother on a one way highway and there is this accident.....now because the person could see that it was going to happen doesn't mean that that person caused the accident. now God is omnipotent and can do something about anything He chooses and I can't fully understand why God allows somethings to happen and others he intervenes in because he is greater than my understanding will allow to fully comprehend....but I do know that he is loving and can take any situation and help me change my perception of the situation to further grow closer to him. as for the last question, God knows all but it's like the person sitting on the hill.....the actions of the cars were made by the drivers but the guy on the hill could see far in both directions.

Answer 4

That's a really good question. Sometimes I think people are put here on earth for a reason and to serve a purpose. I don't know if God truly put us here or how the whole evolution came about, cuz I still struggle with that one. I was raised Catholic and now my parents have converted to full on Christians, so my beliefs sometimes are on a fence. I don't know that I totally throw away the idea that there is a higher being out there because crazy things happen sometimes and without an explanation.

Answer 5

Most people will say yes. I don't think GOD pre-planned anyone to go to hell. If he did, why would have have let His Son die so that we would not go to hell. I think that we have a free will, we make choices, and we move forward. We can keep making right decisions and make it to Heaven. Or we can make wrong decisions and go to hell. Paul after he became a follower of JESUS CHRIST, lived each moment to make sure that he was going to Heaven. He stated that he was chief amongst sinners, but he knew that he was forgiven. But again, each day he ran the race toward the gates of heaven as if to be the winner. If it was already in GODS plan, why would Paul have worked so hard to get there?

Answer 6

I think we are pretty much like snowflakes. Everyone is different in some small way because of varieties in temperature and humidity. But they are also very much alike because they are created under similar conditions with the same materials.
I can't answer your question yes or know. Any entity which I would call God would have an ability for knowledge that we can't fathom.
Frequently, more important to debating religious ideas is figuring out what is good in our life and what are the barriers to finding that good.

Answer 7

Yes, but we don't always follow the plan and I believe thats when bad things start to happen. Not always the case I know. Bad things happen to good people all the time but I feel like if we try to stay in the direction that God is guiding us that things will be good for the most part.

Answer 8

We planned our lives before we were born that is why we have a map of the plan within our palms : )

Some souls plan to come into the world for the experience, some have Karma to pay back

I would say if the soul comes then dies it would be for the experience of the rebirth

Answer 9

Ask yourself this one simple thing. Who is my God? If i look to other people to explain to me what is already in me then I am at a loss. Religion is driven partially by politics which in the new testament of the bible Y'shua(Jesus) warns us about combining these two together knowing full well it would destroy the message of the truth for people. If I live in fear I am already in hell. If I believe in death then I am living in fear. What is death of a body that is not of the plan of The One Who sent me? This body is my choice. I die because I choose to. It's pretty simple. I can theorise till I am gone from this earth or I can look inside for the truth where I was told it lives. In me. I am Spirit or Light before I am a body. God is either everything or nothing does not mean to me today that God is trials and tribulations as well as love and light. It simply means that God is love and love is everywhere if I choose to see it, when I choose to see God's world instead of the world of fear I created with my illusions then I cannot see God's truth and therefore I am truly in hell. Was it His intention I create hell? No. I created hell not God. For those people who debate this then that's well and good for them as well. I choose today to take the credit for the things I created that are of my own free will. I will not blame my pains on a Loving God who Loves unconditionally just because I am incapable at this time in my life to Love as Unconditionally as my Creator. Best of everything to you sister. Be well ! Remember Love has no price tag !

Answer 10

Yes. But, free will and his omniscience work together in a way which I don't think I'll ever be able to fully comprehend.

God allows people to be born to give them the opportunity to believe, but it is man’s responsibility to make that choice. what kind of God would he be if he did not give man the opportunity to place his faith in the Lord?

this is still a very difficult concept to grasp. we can only cling to what we know about God’s nature and character, trust that his sovereignty and mercy don't contradict one another, and believe that everything he does and/or allows will ultimately be for his glory. we submit ourselves to him in worship and obedience and trust that he “works all things according to the counsel of his will” [ephesians 1:11]

Answer 11

No. What would be the point in planning everything? That would be boring.

Our lives are lived, not planned. We have free will, that more or less prevents much in the way of planning on anyone's part. Free will makes us unpredictable, keeps things interesting.
