Is a beleiver's life predestined by god ?
the bible says that god knew us even before the foundation of this earth?
what does this mean many are called and only a few are chosen
why some prosper and other's fail?
some dull people are successfull with easy effort and why some fail who are intelligent and honest ?
is it karma
is free will destined by god
will any one answer these questions please?

Let's say I set before you two doors. A blue one and a red one. You have only one chance to pick which door. If one chooses the blue door, he will be rewarded with the finest banquet feast. If one chooses the red, he will be met with nothing but rotten apples. Let's even say, that I inform everyone who will be selecting what is awaiting them behind each door. But they are completely dependent on my testimony.Is a beleiver's life predestined by god ?
Who has predestined the outcome? I have. I have chosen what is behind each door.
So who will receive the banquet? Those who choose the blue door. Who will receive the rotten fruit? Those who choose the red door.
Have I determined their life? Not exactly. But I have chosen who will receive the banquet feast. Even if I explain the options to them, it is still my choice who receives the banquet. And my choice is only those who select the blue door. And since they must rely on my testimony as to what lies behind each door, I will choose those who have faith in me. Those who select the blue door are pre-destined to receive a banquet, according to my choice.
