I’m not sure where Plantenga goes but, I don’t see any logical contradiction in a possible world, in which all agents freely choose the good If someone could give me the P and -P that might be the fastest way to illustrate his point

Saying “good needs evil for good to exist” seems false, considering the state of heaven or the state sans creation Evil for an unknown pro Toto good- reduces all acts to “good” since they aught be done Free will- same as the heaven objection (that’s an example of Makies objection There is a possible world, like heaven, in which everyone has free will but never the less ALWAYS chooses the good Good layout of his points Thanks
