God the Father predestined the death of His Son. Man wickedly carried out the very sin that God predestined LOL! Where is the "wickedness" in robotic obedience? Are you that confused?

Exactly -- paraphrasing what you said: God the Father predestined the death of His Son. Man wickedly carried out the very sin that God predestined
you say that God the Father planned that Man would sin and kill His Son. Man carried out God's instructions.

Where is the "wickedness" in robotic obedience? Are you that confused? I would think that it would be every Christian's greatest desire to emulate Christ by being totally obedient to the Father's will and not our own will. Isn't that DESIRING to want to be a "robot" to God?
On the other hand if you feel we're saying that God directs the affairs of men in some sort of "robotic obedience" fashion then I would suggest looking at my updated tagline and explaining this verse.
