Assuming the following premises:
- God exists
- God knows the future
- God can't be wrong
How can anyone be said to have free will?
If God sees that someone is going to go to Hell, then why should that person even try to be good?
Why is God predetermining that people should go to Hell before they are even born to begin with?
Why reward or punish us based on what we can't change or control?
Unless there's some explanation, then it seems like the only way that God can be good is if God doesn't/can't know the future.
You're just assuming that knowing the future means that the future is set in stone like it's fate. God knows the future but it is one in a constant state of flux where each action changes it, God knows what it changes to but he allows us to hold the power to change it instead of setting it in stone.
Think of it this way, there's infinite futures each millisecond, and god is aware of all of those events that could transpire in each of those infinite futures, but gives people the freedom to make that choice and actually pick which world line to travel. And free will means that he doesn't really know which of the infinite futures will be chosen, so while he knows all the possible potential futures, he lets us actualize the one we choose. Or alternatively, there's infinite parallel worlds, where each choice possible IS enacted, so to a god who exists outside of dimensional concepts he is able to see all of those futures happen simultaneously. Either way, you don't know which world line you're on, so you better try your hardest to choose right and end up in the good ones and not the one where the roaches are the size of tanks!
(not a christian any more but i got enough education growing up where I did where this basic question is very easy to answer, a better one is "if god can't be wrong then why is anything he made able to be wrong,, assuming god is perfect nothing he made would have any flaws either because that would imply imperfection on his part, and if being able to be wrong is something that's fine, since a perfect god made it, then him being wrong is also fine since we just established wrongness is fine, but we just said that he can't be wrong, that he's perfect, it's an inherent contradiction you can't argue your way of quite as easily)
House is trying to do a Epicurus quote.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
And asking how christians come to terms with such.
They'd just tell you that evil comes from satan and free will and man's failures, and that god allows evil to allow free will. And god doesn't take care of evil to preserve free will. It's kinda like the gun laws, he doesn't wanna take our freedoms away.
But yeah I mean, any god who stays god after making everything and doesn't just relinquish control to the forces of his creations is definitely malevolent. Just trust em to do the right thing if you really think you made em right, no need to sit there and judge and whatnot.
