When a storeowner gets shaken down by gangsters, they tell him it's for his own protection. The storeowner does what the boss wants, and the crime boss saves the storeowner from his own punishment. There's absolutely no difference between a mafia protection racket and Christian salvation.
If that is your best understanding of the scriptures why do you even try. Did the crime boss create this store owner, did he start the business, no, so rightfully he has no say other than he takes it, much like Satan.

It would be much easier to do that if the punishment wasn't also set up by god
So by your belief the government has not right to set the punishment of criminals that break the standards the government has set.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
