All you do is run away from having to back up your statements with Bible verses.

if man is not free do do otherwise then its by force/determinism known as fatalism. Coercion is also at play in calvinism.
its obvious no free will to do otherwise its by force/coercion.
its the old robot/puppeteer scenario at work.

If I had God's ability to know for a fact that tomorrow you will stub your toe, you will stub your toe. But I didn't force you to do it.
Who used the word "force"?
Since people did not volunteer for those circumstances that God put them in then "force" sounds good. What word would you use?
@Presby02 rarely if ever answers questions. Let's see if my comments "forces" him to start coughing up answers.

There's a fine line between a amicable dialogue and interrogation-wouldn't you say?
I answered his question. What more can I do?

When a person asks questions 90% of the time as a response and first not attempt to exegete and engage with the passage and asks questions but seldom if ever when asked a question responds there is a huge problem . Several Calvinists on the old forum used that same tactic all the time . They are the actual ones interrogating
So if we use "God's Providence" instead of "forced", you'll get the following sentence:
God
Tell us how that makes sense.
Sorry. Non-sequitar
God's providence, assuming you know what it is, does not use force nor is force necessary.
