Do... do you seriously not get that vowing to wipe the Amalekites from history, and then recording the name and existence of the people in the bible, either speaks volumes about god's intentions as to the longevity of the bible, or means that god was wrong/lied/sabotaged himself?
What else is one to make of a being who promises to "blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven," and then proceeds to record the name in a book he intends to survive and be read by all of his followers?
Do you not understand that if God's promise wasn't recorded, the blotting out of the Amalekites would have never been known. The promise is important part of the story, the Amalekites are no longer around to make or be involved in history, they are gone forever. Any sensible person could understand that's what was meant by recording the event in the Bible.

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.
