Great man, but because we have free will, I do not believe God has fixed the time of our deaths. We can choose to follow Him as He intended so we can die as He intended, or we can be retarded and go die whenever we want. He won't send angels to carry us to safety if we jump off a cliff, overdose on drugs, have body failure from consuming goyslop, or do whatever other retarded things.

How can we have free will and at the same time God knows what's going to happen in the future?

God knows what we'll choose, but He still lets us choose it. It's not His fault we choose poorly. You have every opportunity and power to choose correctly in every situation:
>"*The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.*" - 1 Corinthians 10:13

If God is good and God is love, why would God construct a universe where beings with free will, beings who He wants to join Him in heaven, can decide to reject Him, or can decide to ignore His laws, and subsequently destroy themselves, and He knows they'll do this, but He creates them anyway? Is this not intentionally cruel?

God creates us from His love in His image. In doing so, we are given free will. Without free will we would be slaves, and not created from love but instead dominance. Then it is our choice to do with it what we want in hopes we will follow a righteous path. Straying from this path is unpleasant to Him much like when a parent witnesses their child hurt themselves.

Additionally, God's mind is not something our minds can fully comprehend, and what we deem as cruel may in fact be glorious in the greater plan. Our suffering is due to living in a fallen world caused by our sin.

Because God is outside of time. Think about a yardstick laid out in front of you. That is how we view time. Our lives move along that stick as we age.
God is outside of time. So, the same way you can look at that yardstick laid out in front of you, and you are able to put one finger on the 2 inch mark and another finger on the 28 inch mark. You can have a finger on both at the same time.
In a similar way, God can be present in the past, present and future simultaneously. He can see the end, like how you can see the end of the yardstick.

Because your puny human brain doesn't compare to God's power.

My late grandmother said I was related to this nigga, like he was a great great great great uncle or whatever, but I’ve never seen any proof of it. What I do know for certain is that my last name is found on the Declaration of Independence
