I believe either through God or through self independence I have free-will I don’t deny that.
I can also understand the application of cause and effect; he knows the outcome. I'm assuming lets say he knows the outcome from the beginning to the end, which he should being an omnipotent God.
He knew the moment he created men, the result of his actions would be an imperfect being.
God created Adam and Eve (he knew Adam would take the apple and then sin. God flooded the whole planet leaving Noah to survive yet he knew sin would continue on even after the mass genocide of the human race.
Now God knows my outcome to not become a religious follower but more so understand them.
So what I don’t get is how a god knowing everything and passing us free-will can possibly sit idly by knowing that he created a planet that was doomed from the start to harvest more sinners then repent-ers. I may be getting bit off my own topic of free-will here but I see this argument interconnected if god knows our free will choices then he must know how it’s to end.
God should have known Adam was going to eat from the tree of knowledge, so
A) He didn’t know thus Adam ate from the tree and dammed us all (except the people who repent)
B) He knew and wanted humanity to sin so that we could worship him
C) He knew or didn’t know doesn’t matter but has lost the power to be able to intervene. He once flooded the planet yet he is unable to change anything in modern times . maybe gods not as present as he once was
