RE: The Problem of Evil, Free Will, and the "Greater Good"

The un-scriptual "christiandom" doctrin of "free moral agency" is down to translators adding the word{ free before will} it should be translated "own will" Ephesians 1:11 In whom { Jesus } also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him { God } WHO WORKETH ALL THINGS AFTER THE COUNCEL OF HIS OWN WILL: This verse crushes the "free will" doctrin, this does not mean we cannot make choices but then those choices are neither free as everything is cause and effect etc: God in this verse and many others, tells us that He operates everything and is resposible for everything "christiandom" hates this because if they where to belive it, then they could not threaten unbelievers with their un-scriptual burning hell fire myth.
