I think people misunderstood the initial argument, which has been debated for centuries.

If God is all-knowing, then he knows everything you will do. This locks you into a course of action from which it's impossible to deviate. If a person were to deviate from that course, then that would prove god's knowledge to be fallible. Yet if you never deviate, then that eliminates free will.

So, without free will, how can a loving father such as God is presumed to be possibly send his children to hell for their misdeeds?
