Weren’t we given freewill by God? I seem to remember Him making a decently big deal about it. I also remember Him saying stuff about how we do not know God’s plan for anyone and should not presume to know it. He also didn’t like false prophets or mortals judging each others’ sins (we don’t have the authority, and it isn’t our job). People who insist on being literal should be literal with the parts that require them to be kind, compassionate, and generous.
