If that is true,why should any of us bother to make plans for ourselves?
God is a scam to control people.
Here's how I reconcile all that,
@sneakypete I don't believe that God either sets or controls each of our destinies, because I think that is fundamentally incompatible with the Free Will with which He blessed each of us. After all, did God really
plan for Eve to eat that apple? So all of us ultimately control our own destinies unless God decides on occasion to stick a thumb on the scales.
But I do think He will help guide each of us if we ask Him, and if we listen. So to the extent He has a plan for each of us, it is still our choice as to whether or not to follow it.
