I think at about age 35, most people begin reviewing their lives'. That's why men reportedly buy a new sports can and divorce desiring the bachelor life. With this in mind, I will clarify my beliefs on this topic of free will versus predestination for people us all.

I've read a handful of posted responses do this question. Some posts are interesting to read giving us all a different prospects. I don't believe in predetermination in all cases.

Let's look at some points related to this question.

Mainly, if people are predetermined. Does that mean if someone dies before they follow through their predetermined destination, does that make them a sinner for not fulfilling his ultimate task.

Next we should question if it's even possible for any spirit, more specifically your God? I mean with billions of people on this earth I can not fathom God to multi task for predetermined path for so many people. Remembering if someone dies before they get to the end of their predetermined path. Now we have to remember child birth's are happing every few minutes throughout the entire world, what happens to new born babies that die during birthing process. Also when a child is born, at what time are we assigned our pre-determined path? When a child is born and is killed in a vehicle accident while on the way to the store with their parent?

Let's also question if all people are who get into drugs and alcohol for several years and they possibly pass up their single opportunity or life's one shot to get people onto their path to fulfill their destination that was supposedly specific to them.

When a person grows up, did any of their childhood mishaps like going to jail or missing the turn onto a street and decide to go around to the next block to make the turn. When this that person goes around to the next block and doesn't strike a pedestrian because they missed their turn onto the street they were supposed to go onto. In this case, that pedestrian was on their way to fulfill their life's destination and you were supposed to hit them with their car and you didn't know that the pedestrian's hit by a car predetermined destination when you passed the street you wanted and made the decision to go onto the next street. Does this mean the pedestrian missed their destination and from that moment on does that pedestrian just flow through the remainder of their life because they didn't fulfill their final life's quest that day? And is that pedestrian now a sinner? Or, if a person doesn't even know
