If some one gives you something that you want and they know you will accept it and you do accept it do you do so of your own free will

Who was that "some one" who wanted hitler to kill millions of Jews BD? "Some one" was giving hitler what he wanted according to what you seem to be putting forth.So ,who is the one giving hitler what he wants if he has no free will?

Are you suggesting it was God who wanted this since he fore knew hitler wanted to kill millions of Jews,thus hitler was actually following the will of God?

I am thoroughly convinced that people who deny free will are hiding some hideous evil act they have done and pawning it off on God's ordination.

I'm tired,Good Night!

“Who was that “some one” who wanted hitler to kill millions of Jews BD?”

It was the same God who let the King of Syria kill hundreds of thousands of the northern tribes of Israel, and just last week permitted the church in Iraq to be attacked.

2 Kings 8:10-13, Elisha replied, “Tell him that he will get better, although the Lord has shown me that he is actually going to die.” He stared at him until he became embarrassed. Then the man of God began to cry. “Sir, why are you crying?” Hazael asked. Elisha answered, “I know the evil you will do to the Israelites: You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their best young men, smash their little children, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13 But Hazael asked, “How can a dog like me do such a significant thing?” Elisha answered, “The Lord has shown me that you will become king of Aram.”

Do you really believe that God is powerless to stop the atrocities or didn’t know they would take place? We don’t know why He allows evil to seemingly triumph but as Habakkuk said looking down the mouth of the Chaldean invaders,

Hab 3:16-19, When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
