What you don’t seem to understand is the INESCAPABLE LOGICAL CONCLUSION that if any one in the world knows with 100% certainty the future, there cannot be free will.

The cause doesn’t matter. You will do by definition, what’s predicted. Period.

That again is simply contrary to an INESCAPABLE LOGICAL CONCLUSION and instead examples illogical reasoning. Knowing what a person will do - which I myself can often tell - simply does not translate into scripting them to do so as without their choice for their own reasons, even though the foreknowledge of their choices fulfills your plan. In wartime strategy then the known reaction of an enemy can be used to the advantage of the adversary, but that does not mean the former is being compelled to do so.

Now while God knows the end from the beginning, and the death of Christ "was foreordained before the foundation of the world," (1 Peter 1:20) yet even still, none of the actions of Pilate of any of parties involved were against their free will, but of their own free will they made choices which God knew they would, and were responsible for, yet which were consistent with the plan of God, who is beyond our time/space habitation.
