Is the path I take in life really a path I have chosen? Or is it that God has directed each step of "my" path causing me to step where He pleases?
This has made me curious for many years -- I look back at how my parents raised me, the values they taught me, etc. I certainly believe some, maybe all of my childhood has helped to make me who I am today. I can also look at where I have deviated from my parents values - principles - etc. and come to my own life beliefs/conclusions.
We have so many different types of churches that claim to follow Jesus - if the above is true and God does direct "our" path, why would we have so many beliefs/churches?
If its not true - then how exactly does he involve himself in my daily life, in that of my families daily life? How much does he involve himself in our daily lives?
**BTW: I'm looking for a little more in way of answer than just "Sin" has caused it.
**I couldn't really make up my mind how to ask what was in my brain -- so, the above is what you all get ...ha
