He created the planet, the people, the rules.
With omniscience (the ability to see all events, past present and future), He knows exactly what each person will do, when they will do it, and why they do it.
He even wrote an official, perfect handbook.
If God wanted 100% success, it is in His power.
Yet God created Hell for the failures. Revelations is full of prohecy about how many people will fail, and why.
With all this power in His hands, how does God excuse His inability to achieve 100% success with humanity? Free will?
Is free will God's excuse for not getting everyone into Heaven?
Did God grant free will so as to deliberately create failures? For God knows each choice we make before we make it, right? So he knows who is going to make the wrong choices and who will fail to get to heaven before these people are born. And he allows them to be born anyway, knowing they'll go to Hell.
So God needs people to go to hell so as to fulfill his prophecy in Revelation?
