"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13
What the John 15:5 scripture means, is that you cannot do anything real or true apart from Christ, because Christ is at the root of all goodness and all true things.
It's patently obvious that many people can do things apart from Christ. And apart from God. But, is what they do good? Or is it evil?
"I am able to do ANYTHING, because God gave me free will."
Not exactly true. Can you jump from Los Angeles to the moon? No.
You cannot do "anything". You can only do what the laws of the universe allow you to do. You can jump off a 500 cliff and land on rock, but you cannot jump off a 500 cliff and land on rock and survive. (Aka without a parachute or other device to halt your fall)
So, yeah, you can do many things, because God gave you free will. You can also murder, rape, abuse others, steal. But you cannot do these AND permanently avoid the consequences of those actions. They will have a natural result.
Those actions are evil, because people, and beings, choose to do them exercising their free will but NOT in concorde with God's desire or will.
But there are some things evil cannot do. One of those is be humble. Just FYI.
Name checks out.

Have a great day, and good luck.
I don't cuck for Jesus bro. I don't worship false gods, that will keep me out of heaven. That's all you, buddy.
Makes sense. You decide who and what others think, believe and that, setting up fake ideas as strawmen to attack.....
Hmmmm.
Arrogance to the max. Your shill presentation of fake Christian doctrine ain't worth much time, dude.
I love you so much that I am trying to get you into heaven, bro.
I think we both know really who or what you are.
