Charles :
Salamat father, hindi ako magaling mag tagalog kaya sorry sa pag gamit ng english. Maintindihan ko naman yung tagalog completely so feel free to speak in Tagalog. I feel the same way, and I am willing to have a discussion with you as well. Sana alam ko mag respond ka in video format para ma add ko na yung follow-up question. The usual answer that I get is that yes there is free will but without evil, that the humans are freely choosing good always. So, the follow-up question is why didn't God create Adam and Eve or humans in the same way (with free will but without evil) in the first place? Eve would always freely choose good and never disobey God. An abuser or a killer would never become that because they would be good people in the first place. Whatever your reply is, the follow-up question is, so did God deliberately create Adam and Eve or humans to have free will and with evil? Remember that it is possible for humans to have free will and be without evil, as we previously talked about.
To answer your question, I am an atheist, so I don't have a belief in a God, including your God of the Bible. A lot have difficulty understanding this, so as an analogy, I am not a stamp collector. A stamp-collector would be like you a Christian and does the hobby of stamp-collecting or practicing the faith. A non-stamp-collector is someone who doesn't have the hobby of stamp-collecting or practicing the faith. I am not claiming that there is another hobby, I am just not practicing your hobby.
Sidenote: This is not important but have you seen Arcane? Yung Philippians 3:21 reminds me of the story of Arcane.
