God knows everything that will ever happen. God has a plan for all of us. Therefore, free will is totally negated.
God knew that Eve would be tempted by Satan and eat the apple, and he let it happen. Therefore, God planned on making humans suffer. God knew that the Gospels would be contradictory and cause confusion and argument. So again, God planned on causing mankind pain. It's all in his "plan" which negates free will.
Many Christians tend to forget about God's omnipotence snd omniscience. He's not just some guy sitting in front of the TV wondering what's gonna happen next. He knows all, and plans all.
Free will is not negated during this life.
And in the end everyone gets their way.
If you want to be with Jesus Christ for ever, just trust Him as Saviour.
If you do not want to worship God forever, God does force you to go to heaven at all. You can have your way forever.

God allows free will for a while.
He does punish evil and triumph over evil for eternity.
So as I am not evil I have nothing to worry about, right?
