HENRY and THE JUDGE.
The takeaway point in this post is human Free Will choices are responsible for the evil in this world.
_______
Many Anti-Christians and Atheists daily look for ways
to demonstrate that humans are not actually responsible for their Free Will choices to do evil.
Atheists do not believe that God exists, but they postulate that God exists for the sake of argument.
Here is ANDY ATHEIST trying to blame God for the evil choices that humans make, and at the same time
take the blame off of human beings for their Free Will choices to do evil.
ANDY ATHEIST Wrote: "If God is all knowing (Omniscient} then it logically follows that if God knows
today, what choices I will make tomorrow, then I have no choice tomorrow to do anything other than to
make the choice that God knew I would choose."___ANDY ATHEIST
JAG Replies: Yes it is true that since God is Omniscient and knows the future and knows what you will
choose to do, then you will do that which He knows that you will do.
But , , , that does NOT mean that you did not freely choose to do that which He knew you would do.
Here we need to understand what Free Will means.
Free Will means there is no Force EXTERNAL-TO-YOU, that forces you to do, that which you do not want to do.
God merely knowing what you will choose to do, does not mean that God forces you to do, that which He
knew you would choose to do.
Nor does it mean that you did not want to do it. You did want to do it. Your Free Will freely chose to do whatever you did.
It Is Vital To Remember That , , , Free Will means that there is NO-FORCE-OUTSIDE-OF-YOU, that is forcing or coercing
you into choosing to do that which is against what you want to do. The fact that God knows what you will choose to do,
does not mean that there was any Force-Outside-Of-You coercing
you to do that which God knew you would choose to do.

Secular Laws , , , Free Will is a secular truth, and not only a religious truth; How so? Because all of Civilized Humanity recognizes
the legitimacy of the institution of Free Will and has legislated human Free Will into law. The Law says humans are responsible for
their choices. The Law recognizes the legitimacy of the Institution of human Free Will.
Keeping in mind what ANDY ATHEIST said, read this dialogue between HENRY and THE JUDGE:
__________
HENRY: Your Honor, yes it is true that I robbed that bank and in the process I killed three bank tellers, but Your Honor, God is Omniscient
and God knew I would rob the bank and kill those three tellers, so Your Honor its not my fault that I committed this crime, I merely did what God
knew I would do.
THE JUDGE: Oh okay, Henry. I understand. Thanks for explaining. Case dismissed.
___________
You say THE JUDGE would NEVER do that. You are correct. THAT is the point. What Andy Atheist said was ABSURD-NONSENSE.
So?
So humans Are Responsible For Their Free Will Choices. So all this talk about Free Will NOT being a true, valid, and legitimate explanation of why
humans are personally responsible before God for the evil choices they make is irrational and belongs in the basement below the basement where
unproductive totally-useless abstract philosophical academic speculations blather on and on and on. Nothing said by humans can invalidate this truth:
Humans Are Responsible For Their Free Will Choices.
_________
What does HENRY and THE JUDGE demonstrate?
That Humans Are Responsible For Their Free Will Choices. -- and to say otherwise reduces to absurd-nonsense.

From our point of view its choice. From Gods point of view its destiny. Predestination dosen’t matter unless you know the future.
