Usually hear we have free will and not even God can take it away. Yet didn't God 'harden' pharaoh's heart forcing him into refusing the Jews their freedom? And on multiple occasions?

The scriptures say that we are to "Choose this day whom you will serve"
So yes we have free will. Pharoah could have chosen differently. But He didn't and God knew He wouldn't in that position. The fact that God knows us so well He knows how we will choose doesn't means He has taken away our agency.

I don't believe God is a puppetmeister.Usually hear we have free will and not even God can take it away. Yet didn't God 'harden' pharaoh's heart forcing him into refusing the Jews their freedom? And on multiple occasions?
Man's free will is a myth at best. It is Go who wills in each of us. God is in complete control of everyone and everything.
Php_2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Rom_9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonor?
Jer_18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
I read this in Sunday school when I was 7, and is why I renounced religion, that is one sick evil book, filled with a tribe and God killing people, murdering, and every act of depravity. It is a book of horrors. Teaches segregation, and hate, and subject action of women. Hardly any laws in it are followed by the faithful anymore.Usually hear we have free will and not even God can take it away.

I try and read the Bible every day. But I also try a little bit of common sense in my reading also.I read this in Sunday school when I was 7, and is why I renounced religion, that is one sick evil book, filled with a tribe and God killing people, murdering, and every act of depravity.

Christianity actually changed to predestiny during Calvinism, I think that passage is one that they used, anyway every generation chrisianity changes and in ten years they will believe in predestiny again.
Predestiny is the belief that when you are born it is already decided if you are going to heaven or hell.
Hell lol made up specifically for christianity. The Old Testament talks about the grave, where we all go.
I tried common sense and realized to use common sense the bible makes no sense. A talking snake, God making man and woman in the first chapter then the second chapter changing it, to make woman look bad, and cursed. Does it make sense to you that God made all the animals first, then said be fruitful and multiple then makes man without a woman. Common sense says it was edited to put that story in there.I try and read the Bible every day.

So using common sense God makes all the plants before he made light,( he made light but had not made day or night yet,) Then makes all the animals male and female, and makes man and woman, but the second chapter he says he made man first, and had him look for a partner among the animals. Which he had already made animals male and female. But with man he forgot, well in the first chapter he remembered but ok chapter 2 must be a flashback. So now he finally makes a partner for man, a woman, although he made females of every other creature. Anyway she is tricked by a snake, and punished with pain in childbirth and to be dominated by man.I tried common sense and realized to use common sense the bible makes no sense.

No where besides the Old Testament does it go back and retell a version like that. That was an obvious edit.
Free will's like gravity. If Jesus walks on water, so be it, but humans can't simply intercede on someone else's will. Like gravity, we have work to do not being gods: we have to coerce other's will.Usually hear we have free will and not even God can take it away.

If free will did not exist, force would be God's only alternative to us being good. But would we really be good beings if we are forced to be so? A truly good being is one who chooses good of their own volition. Free will is essential for beings to truly become good.
There is no free will in religion, you either believe the dogma hook, line and sinker, or they boot you out. God also didn't give free will, you either follow "his" book, or he'll burn you in hell. Anyone who calls that a choice is an idiot.
"You only go to hell when you don't accept that Jesus died for your sins and receive him as your Lord and saviour".There is no free will in religion, you either believe the dogma hook, line and sinker, or they boot you out.

Everyone has free will. But you can willingly sacrifice your own will for God's will.
No one makes you do it.
Living for God should be done willingly. If not, you are not a Christian.
You only go to hell when you don't accept that Jesus died for your sins and receive him as your Lord and savoir. God gave us an out, if you choose not to accept it that is your choice...... God is not sending you to Hell for not living biblically....
