do you think that your fate is in your own hands or in God's hands?

Its all in your hands, The god just sees how serious you are about your goal and then lends a helping hand to you based on your efforts.

That depends on whether you believe fate to be a human construct; a personified entity used as a tool to explain and justify circumstances which effect the human condition. Getting philosophical here, if you do perceive this to be the case, does this make it "real" as it would then exist within your own perception of reality? Just a thought.

Yes. It lies in our own mind. Life your life today!!

fate is the path you cross no matter which path you take to get there. most people think fate is your ending but faith is really when you hit set checkpoints in your life, reguardless of what you took to get there.

It is my belief that God simply knows the end of each possible path in your life. He knows if you choose road A where it will lead, and if you choose road B where it will lead...but the choosing is up to you.\n\nNo one knows what God's plan is, we can only do the best we can with what we've been given.

I do not take anything the bible says literally. I do not know if i will. You asked for honesty and this is what i am going to give. I do not know if i would. I do not even know if i would take one for a loved one. At that very moment i do not know what will happen. But i have learned to accept death. So if they have to die they have to and nothing i do will stop it.\nIf i am i guess that will be the day when i run infront the Gun. I really do not know what i will do at that point in time. I may think about my own life and why should i end it in that manner. I really do not know.\nAnd that is the honest truth.

To me, this means that my destiny is my own decision.  That the things I do and the decisions I make are my own and not predetermined by an Almighy Being.\n\nThis ALSO means that the repercussions to those decisions and behaviors are my own responsibility, that I can only blame myself for the results.

The answer depends on your beliefs in free will.  If you believe that God knows everything that is going to happen and has control over it then yes you are correct.  If you believe that God made us, but we have free will over our lives then he did not know what would happen.  The other theory could be that God gave us free will, but he already knew the choices that would be made.  It all depends on what you believe.

I believe that to an extent, we all have a hand in what the future holds for us. But, that for the most part, it was already decided for us while we were still in our Mothers' womb! We can aspire for things in our lives...but if they weren't meant to be...they just won't happen! I see myself as a Bestselling Author...! Well, I hope to achieve lots of things in my future...talking about them may invite evil...I'm a bit superstitious!! Good question, though!

No matter what you are or call yourself the trials will still be there. They will still come. No it's about god. He saved me more than I can tell you. I have had pain unbearable pain I called on Jesus The pain did not leave  all at once. but it left.If a higher power can not help No one can.<My higher power is Jesus > Don't let anyone steal your joy.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! GOD DOES NOT FORCE HIMSELF UPON US! Whom ever is doing this needs to go back and read the bible again. We  have the right to choose how we live. Good or bad. In the end we alone are left with our own end results.

I think I have always been since God has always been. I see myself as a piece of God. After this life I will go and evaluate what I have learned and what I still need to learn for my own enlightenment. Then when I am ready I will choose to be born again or maybe I will choose to help other souls that are in human bodies. I don't believe in heaven and hell either. I don't go in for the whole sin concept. Just learning lessons.

o.k. this is really personal so please have respect. My mom was sick for a year and a half. Finally after her long struggle their was nothing more that the doctor's could do. During her last few weeks here on this earth, it became really important for me to hold her hand. I wished that if I could hold her hand and give up everything that I loved to do or ever wanted to do that somehow she wouldn't have to leave me. But reality as usual sunk in, and I decided that I wanted to hold her hand as Jesus took her to heaven. so Iprayed and asked God to let me be able to be with her as she died and to let me be able to hold her hand. A few days later we came into the hospitol in the morning to visit her, but she had taken a turn for the worse over night and they said she maybe had the rest of the day to live. Aout a half hour laterthings really went down hill. i was sitting in a chair at the end of her bed, when all of a sudden I heard someone ( not out loud for everyone to hear, but a voice none the less) telling me that i should go hold her hand. I felt as if someone was pulling at me trying to get me to move. I hesitated because someone was standing in the way. A moment later that person moved. I continued to hear that voice urging me to move and that fealing of someone pulling on me. I got up and held her hand. Aouple of minutes later she was gone. Because God loves me and knew how much this would mean to me, and it still means so much to me, He made sure that I was there at that moment, and He told me in His own way that that was the moment I needed to be holding her hand. Like I said, This is personal. This really happened so please have respect.

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.

I don't really know the will of God. I do ask him to show me his will every morning.I believe getting through the day without hurting anyone and helping others less fortunate than me is what his will would be. Have faith, though it's hard at times.

Are you saying you haven't given yourself completely to God? He created you. He knows how many hairs are on your head. He loves you. If you know in your heart that God is real but are getting confused, Let me tell you that you will not find peace in your heart if you don't give yourself to him. How would you feel if your child turned on you and never spoke to you? That is how God feels about us. He loves us all and sent his Son to die on the cross for our sins. Pray and you'll find your answer.
