if no sin occurs, nothing to repent
Comment on Jobless, isolated, fed misogynistic porn… where is the love for Britain’s lost boys?

True, but all have sinned

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

What do you mean situation where no sin occurs?

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?

We’re the one that refuses it. Pharaoh was clearly refusing it, and blasphemed the Holy Spirit
