  Yes. Same way God isn’t stopping you from sinning because doing so wouldn’t let you repent

    But god can force Pharaoh to sin by hardening his heart to Moses’s pleas arbitrarily lengthening the Israelites’ suffering and robbing a human of his free will in the process.

      I don’t think the Israelites are sitting in heaven after several thousand years upset over the few extra weeks they spent in captivity. That’s besides the point, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened by God removing the Holy Spirit, which is needed for repentance. It’s still Pharaoh’s free will, after he ignored spiritual conviction

        So there’s a certain amount of spiritual conviction god could give genociders to convince them to stop while it still being considered free will but refuses?

      True, but all have sinned

        if all have sinned in a situation where no sin occurs, then you can’t say “true”
