I saw on a church sign today God has no problems only plans.
My question for Christians is does God have a plan? If so what is the extent of the plan?
Does God intended for your life to go a certain way but allows you the option to act differently from his plan? Or is everything that happens in your life a part of his plan but it is difficult to tell because you cannot see the plan and it's entirety?
If the answer to either of the above is in the affirmative how does this not constitute a somewhat abusive relationship? If there is to be a plan for my life should I not be consulted?
Does god have a plan?

Post #11So then what about fertility drugs? People take fertility drugs to induce fertilization. This would surely have to be against God's plan? If they are not supposed to have children then to try to override God's plan in this manner should surely be a great sin. The bible teaches that children are a blessing from God so why would God then heap blessings on someone who sinned by trying to play God and use fertility drugs. Some even get multiple blessings with multiple births.Adstar wrote: [Replying to post 1 by higgy1911]
Yes the Biblical God has a ultimate plan and everything that happens upon earth has been factored into that plan. God who has foreknowledge of the entire human history has factored in everybody's lives and actions and decisions into His eternal plan. Nothing that happens on earth in human history can alter His plan because He had already seen all of human history down to the finest detains. so nothing can surprise Him and cause His ultimate plan to fail.
Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
