god's plan?

Well isn't this what the topic is about, those claiming they have the plan from God...
It isn't assumption, all the things have happened Biblically to set a Snare before the nations across time.

Actually it is-- but whatever.
You'd have to dismantle the case to prove it; otherwise since got clear evidence to show it, it isn't an assumption.
When we're children missing the mark is part of learning. As adults we forget that."Sin" means "to miss the mark", and heaven knows I've done that many, many times. Where the conjecture comes in is what is the "mark" and how was the "mark" established as such? If my wife sets the "mark", I sin all the time.
As far as wives go, I am indeed a sinner with no place to run and hide.

A claim made by many, but they don't seem to be all on the same page.
How could they be?
Is Moses's experience of God, the same as Adam's; every persons experience of God is slightly different; that is what life is all about.
As for the Biblical plan, personally think it has to be logically adding up consistently throughout, and for many it seems that because of their own personal gain, they then fail to see their own flaws in logic.
Plus because there is so much emphasis on this "knowing the plan", some people want to seem like they do at all costs, regardless of facts.

When I think of God's Plan I think of the overall "blue print" for our civilization by the Divine Architect... Our sciences .. our social order and our actions and aspirations to build a better world are the fuel and foundation for that Plan. We may not always be aware of it or be able to define our daily role but it is there.
When I worked in construction I was given a small section of an overall coordinated plan. So I dug a ditch or we helped pour cement or we carried out whatever was our designated role. Each of us had a goal and we worked side by side toward achieving it.
What are some of the over all goals for us on this planet?
I'd suggest that our goal is providing education first for our children to live in a world where they can achieve greatness and learn to work together... accepting each other and living positive fruitful l.
Another goal is reducing racism and learning how to get along with each other... to better appreciate each other's talents and abilities...to accept the oneness of our humanity.
Providing all the members or community with a modicum of food, clothing and shelter while still aspiring to achieve our personal goals and aspirations.
Reducing violence by focusing on the causes of disintegration and hatred.
We are one.. Our world is one inter related living organism and so our goal is to achieve what was only dreamed of by past generations.

This isn't the case, it is a specific religious text, and therefore there are set understandings based on which texts, and presuppositions people accept.
We could list each 'plan' within the Biblical text if anyone is interested.

Well, the originators of religious texts anyways who first wrote it down from what they think their ideas are about God's plans and such.This isn't the case, it is a specific religious text, and therefore there are set understandings based on which texts, and presuppositions people accept.

I don't think it's make up. I think it's more of an understanding.

The only meaning or purpose life can have is sharing joy and love.
God gave the creation over to futility in hope.
God and the Word knew they could increase joy and love endlessly -so they decided to make many like them.
However, that process required a temporary state of learning what to do and not do which was quite opposite.
It is written that the former things will eventually not be remembered or be brought to mind.
