God cant create beings with free will because his omnipotent nature makes every step they take predetermined.
I dont know if I use my free will or not. Feels like it, yeah.
I personally would - if I had to take a wild guess - think free will is a real thing which is perfectly fine for me since I dont believe in the god claim.
But who knows? I dont.
And what did I evade? The Genealogy of Jesus? When did we talk about that?
God's Will and our free will intertwine. Think of it like 2 snakes wrapping around eachother.
God's Will is achieved through our free will. You see this when Joseph is sold as a slave to Egypt by his own brothers.
Genesis 50:18-21
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.
