Why have A PLAN?

Post by _SuperDell »

God supposedly knows everything. Everyone and what they will do and how things will turn out.

If so - what good is A PLAN?

I am not completely sure God knows everything and how things will turn out but assuming he does has sort of been the believers simplest assumption.

If one accepts the ideas though I do not see how that would affect whether or not having a plan is a good idea. Mr so and so decides two weeks in the Canadian wilderness without a plan is a good idea. Suppose he gets lost and dies due to planning failure. Is that changed if God knows about it before it happens? Would it not be better to be a person making good judgements about when to plan than one who does not make such judgements?

A plan helps organized religion keep it together and gives em goals and stuff. Its sorta cool when the head honcho can say "Hey! We gotta plan to work with!"

So it can be diagramed and made into a PowerPoint presentation, of course.
