Ping to 124. You are by God’s control ignoring His control.

If your assertion were true, that we have no free will, then God would be a monster. He would be condemning some to death and sparing others arbitrarily, since he decided all their thoughts and actions for them, so “sin” cannot exist. He also commands us to love Him and one another, when that is impossible, because love must be freely chosen, so “righteousness” cannot exist either. Those are just a couple of the contradictions that your interpretation gives rise to.

You are reducing God to a child stomping on ant hills.
