Are our lives determined by fate for free will?

Free will, it is our choices that will lead us to the paths that we are on and the paths that we will take in our future\nYou choose to not finish school and graduate, well that determines a shaky future, you may have financial problems because it may be difficult to find a decent job. \n\nYou finish school and graduate , go to college and get some extra skills. You are either going to land a good career or a decent paying job and you will have less financial burden.\n\nOur free will is what creates our fate

If free will doesn't exist, then it would be pointless for you to ask this question.\n\nIf that's not enough of an answer, we're probably saved by the statistical nature of quantum mechanics.  But, free will is not something that physics can address at this time.  There's no data.

I believe we are set on a certain path for this life, and that path remains hidden to us until we pass on.  For this reason, life is better taken in stride, letting it unfold before you as opposed to expecting this or that.  We don't control anything, but rather live under the illusion of control.

Yes.  Ultimately you are the only person that ever has to live with every choice you have made, and follow every path you ever took.  It doesn't matter what life throws at you, its always how you react to it that matters.  That is the part that makes us all individuals.  We have free will to decide what we make of whats put in front of us, so we are the only people that can be held responsible for our own choices.

It is not true that whatever we do, God gets it done by us.\nU don't see God Gave us free will But also Showed the right path...\n\nSo whatever we do is our own deeds.. If we do good, God is happy with us,\n& if we do bad deeds, God Obviously will punish!\n\n\nJust take this example..\nGod is our Creater...\nSimilarly A person or an electronics company creates a TV or VCR of DVD Player...\n\nSO ..\nThe company give an instruction manual with its product..\njust like God sent us to this world with Bible/ Quran etc..\n\nNow see!\nWhen the VCR does not work properly, we take it to a repair shop, if it does not still work properly, we throw it in trash...\nTHIS is a punishment for the VCR...\nSimilarly, when we dont follow the instructions from GOD, God will punish us.

Fate is determined by the accumulated result of one's deeds and misdeeds with intent to harm other living beings in violations of the principles of Truth in one life time. That is carried over to the next life which, in a way , justifies rebirth in Hindu way of faith. Hence, fate is predetermined so far as this life is concerned.

It's possible to believe in anything.  The question is whether you make decisions on the basis of what you believe (i.e., on mere feelings) or on what you know.\n\nAs for free will, I suspect it's an illusion.  We are driven by our hormones and our fears and our desires; we are conditioned by our education and our environment; so when we make any decision we actually have less "freedom" than we imagine.\n\nHaving said that, we are nevertheless responsible for the consequences of whatever choices we make.  It's cowardly and dishonest to blame "fate" or "god" or "the movements of the planets" for what we've done or failed to do.

fate is kinda like, u don't know what's going to happen\n\nlike when someone says "let fate deside" \nlike in a fight, u don't know who's gonna win and fate will pick.\n\nand GOD is fate. HE picks for us.

I would say yes\nBut God wants Free-Will of choice........so in turn you make up your own mind.

Unfortunately it appears that way to be true for many people.Others may refer to this as Karma. Tempting fate is another usage as is preordained and predestination.Our lives or just being alive is a matter of fate  within this universe. To deny a connection to it is like denying our own existence.Fate can be from certain bad or good choices. Others have referred to this as alternate realities or programs within the universe or Matrix. If you apply science and logic I would imagine this should become more clear. Free will does have it's limitations within a given number of variables and common laws.Don't be dismayed by averages though. It depends on who you know and come in contact with physically, emotionally,spiritually and psychically. We often learn and display ourselves by example so keep that thought in mind also. Logic is the key to greater understanding not arrogance. If life is a test of our psyche than it is whether or not we chose to ignore our intuitions or guides.Each one of us is like a math problem or theory being applied or tested.Life isn't just one program but several programs running at the same time.So fate isn't just white or black or true or false it's multiple choice in a world of chance or multiple fates or alternate endings.This is what some may refer to as the Book of Life.

because we have a soul and free will

Absolutely not, god gives us free will to make choices and if firmly believe that's where it ends and Thur those choices he knows what the outcome will be for us.  If you are not careful and participate in the things that could cause such a disease than you suffer a possible consequence.  Hope this was of some help to you.

Because God wants us to have free will, the choice between doing right and wrong.

Yes and no. When you think about fate I think that some people are fated like say a person born with an incurable disease or being born to your parents. Where is your free will in that? Also, I don't go by day to day astrology but I can tell you that I must be the poster child for my astrological sign. The personality is totally me and I usually don't get along with those they say I'm incompatible with. You have options to shape your own destiny but there is a little bit of fate to even it out.
