Why would God create a soul he knows will go to Hell?

[INPEFESS]

Maybe I should start another thread for this?  I'm not even sure it belongs in "Theological Debate."

Never mind.

Before I respond more fully to INPEFESS, I should re-present the problem that I think induced the OP to start this thread.

The following is a transliterated quote from Leibniz.  This re-presents the problem in terms of human freedom and divine knowledge.

We all agree that God knows all things, and that the •future is •present to him just as the •past is. I couldn’t move my arm now without his having foreseen it from all eternity. He knows whether I will commit a murder, a crime, or some other sin. And since his foresight is infallible [here = ‘bound to be correct’], it is infallible that I will commit the sin that he has foreseen. So it is necessary that I will sin. and it is not within my power not to. So I am not free.

Okay, very good; we understand each other.

I would suggest starting a new thread devoted specifically to the problem of the (usual) metaphysical approach employed by many apologists, including Rumble and Carty. Please provide a link in this thread when you do; I am interested in following it.
