if the presidents of russia and usa have free will, they can push a button and kill 8 billions of people using all the available nuclear weapons they control.

will god prevent that?

if so, do they really have free will?

If the Presidents of Russia and USA have free will, they can push a button and kill 8 billions of people using all the available nuclear weapons they control. Will God prevent that? If so, do they really have free will? Why to give your creatures free will if you prevent your creatures from using it since you are Almighty and you can fix everything they do?
Since nobody is convinced to be in the wrong, 8 billions of people are mislead to death because of Satan's free will to lie to them. Why does God not prevent Satan from using his free will to bring 8 billions of people to death as He does from using nuclear weapons to kill the same amount of people?
If everything involves God's will, why does God's will let His creatures use free will (He gave them) in the second case and not in the first one?

regarding my previous post about why god, who cannot lie, create creatures who can lie, i receive these answers:.

- because he did not create machines;- because he gave free will.

but none of the two really answers my question.having been a computer programmer myself and knowing the basics of artificial intelligence i know for sure that you can instruct a neural network, which means computers which means machines, to give false (0) answers, which means not telling the truth which means lying, instead of true (1) ones since they work using a binary logic: 0 or false and 1 or true.

That means that even machines could lie if they instruct each others, as artificial intelligence, to do it.

Regarding free will, God gave Satan free will to lie and this ability is misleading 8 billions of humans to death, so what about the free will "not to die and continue to live or not to be mislead" of these 8 billions of people? God gave to a man the free will to kill another man, so what about the free will of the man being killed "not to die and continue to live"?

In the infinite possible ways to create a universe by an Almighty God, I could understand "free will" regarding decisions having consequences only for the person taking them but not for others, because in this way the others do not have the free will not to pay.the consequences of that person deciding for them and not just for him/herself!

God cannot lie

2. bible
the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

.

so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

In my congregation one of the elders is such a bad reader that once, in order to be clear, the COBE repeated the content of the letter or announcement he had just read...
No joking. It really happened! 😂
