However, we DO NOT know our future, which is why the fact that we are doomed to follow a path isn't necessarily a bad thing, life is still exciting.

It is said that God doesn't create people for the sake of sending them to hell. If we don't have free will, that means that everyone who will go to hell has no way of stopping that, because they don't have the free will to be able to control it. If they don't have free will, then God made them knowing that they couldn't do anything to stop themselves from going to hell. The bible says that's not what happens. God knows what will happen with his plan, but he allows us to make our own decisions. The bible argues that we are not doomed to follow a predetermined path.

An interesting thing to point out. Our futures are already pre-determined by God, yet why do so many people undeservingly die of horrible deaths (cancer etc...)?
What benevolent omnipotent God would do that?

The bible says God gives us the freedom to change our paths. We have free will. We can surprise him.

The bible explicitly says that we can change whatever path we're on, and there's more than one choice. The choices are infinite. The bible also says God does not create people for the sake of sending them to hell. If God exists, he does not doom us to be sent to hell without giving us the possibility to stop it from happening. There is nothing in the bible that says otherwise. If we're not assuming God is real, then the prospect of free will is also proven by science.

•Proverbs 16:9
9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
• 1 Corinthians 10:13
13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will always provide a way out so that you can endure it.
•2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, and some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
• Galatians 5:13
13 You my brothers and sisters, we're called to be free. But not to use your freedom to indulge in the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
There are actually many many more, but you get the picture. The bible also says that we on earth don't know God's plan, so you don't know what God will forgive us for. Assuming God is real of course.

And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”… (Genesis 2:16)
Psalm 139
1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand)—
when I awake,) I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Without God your path is doomed, but the choice is freely yours...
