Another case of theists deliberately misunderstanding a clear point.

I did not start this thread to discuss whether I believe in free will.  The thread is a refutation of the Christian claim that god allowed evil into the world out of respect for human free will. The bible itself is its own refutation. All I'm doing is pointing out what it says.

You are doing no such thing. Yes, God hardened Pharaoh's heart, but long before then Pharaoh had a history of repeated injustice. Those prior actions were the offences. God hardening Pharoah's heart is not the only example. As foretold by Jesus, Peter denied Him three times. So in some sense, Peter did not truly have free will with respect to those three times. But that does not negate all the other moments throughout his life when Peter was not compelled by overwhelming fear and professed His love and obedience to our Lord. Freely. People are only judged according to the decisions they actually make and not for things that are forced on them.
