Free Will is Impossible in a Linear Universe Caused by an Omniscient God

Two characters: Jack and Mr. Gihilson. Mr. Gihilson is Jack's father. Jack wants to go to a party. Mr. Gihilson lets him go in his car knowing very well that Jack will drive drunk after and get in a crash. Who's fault is it when the car is crashed? Mr. Gihilson wants to teach Jack a lesson but lets Jack make his own decisions. Mr. Gihilson isn't irresponsible or incompetent. More like laissez-faire. In the end it comes down to the decision Jack made. Jack getting in a crash is his own fault. Jack knew very well it could happen and made a wrong choice anyways. It is Jack's fault. Mr. Gihilson knew it would happen and it did and he was essential in it happening but it is still Jack's fault. A god that knows the future and the consequences of the actions it takes still is not in control of the will of the decisions of it's creation if it does not force anything and the creation has a decision. R1.) Being you do not seem to understand at all why I think this is a completely invalid analogy, I will be more specific. First off, you start off with the idea of the father only passively observing his son's decisions and life. You must change this to, God created Jack knowing the way He would create him and the situations he would be put in from the very beginning of his existence would eventually cause him to drive drunk and get killed. Secondly, Mr. Gihlson is quite obviously being extremely irresponsible, even if this was just an analogy of a father and son and even more so if this analogy could exchange Mr. Gilhson with God. If Mr. Gihlson knew for 100% sure that because he would not stop his son, his son would inevitably die from a car crash, that is the very definition of irresponsible. The quote, "With great power comes great responsibility" ring any bells? You yourself even admit in your first argument that Mr. Gihlson's inaction was essential in this horrible result to come to fruition. Such an argument can definitely be used against God as well, but I will worry about that in my second point. R2.) The analogy I used was in no way an opinion, and doing nothing more to refute my argument other than pointing out the wording I used does absolutely nothing to help your case. The robot in my analogy did not have a choice, WHICH IS THE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE. I do not wish to sound or act childish, but I think this might be somewhat necessary being you do not seem to understand my argument. I WANT YOU TO READ THIS NEXT PART VERY CAREFULLY, AS IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND MY POSITION: The anologies of Jack and the Robot are very different and here is why: In your example, Jack was pre-assumed to have free will and be able to even make a choice at all. In my analogy, the robot had no choice. It was programmed to commit an action. It may think it has free will, but it would not. That is my argument right there. R-Conclusion.) This is exactly where I knew for certain you did not understand my argument at all. You would agree, I am sure, that the God of the Bible is a timeless being correct? You would also agree that the Bible states that God is omniscient. In other words, He knows everything. This allows us to pre-assume that free will does not exist, for if everything could be predicted in any way whatsoever, which the God of the Bible is able to do, then all actions are nothing more than reaction to some kind of stimuli whether we know what that stimuli is or not. This would allow us to believe that our actions were our own, but were actually nothing more than an causal relationship. Going off of this, we can then argue against the idea of free will as presented by your arguments. Being the Bible claims God made us, and we know that God knows everything, we can assume that God knew from the beginning the fact that the way He made us, being we were not created by some outside force and God is omniscient so He cannot not know the result of His actions, would cause our every action up until death to be pre-ordained. Thus, God has literally sentenced us by His own hands to be doomed to Heaven or Hell.
