God also put the tree of life in the garden and didn't forbidden the consumption until after they sinned, how convenient that you forgot this because it has gigantic implications.
Free will isn't an excuse and it's exactly why Salvation only works if the individual ultimately decides to genuinely repent. So free will exists within the faith because of the very fact that judgment of our sins, sins being our personal actions and choices against God, and Salvation only being possible if the individual willfully acknowledges their wrong before God.
Again, you're entitled to your opinion, but none of your arguments are in alignment to what thr Bible states.
What you have is a faulty interpretation. But according to you, we have no free will. So, you will never have proper understanding, because you don't have free will, and thus can't muster up the motivation to properly learn. So you're forever stuck in a stagnant state. You've never made one decision in your life and you can't even back out of this discussion even if you wanted to, since you can't make that choice and its already been made for you.
Therefore, what is the point of even having this discussion if we have no free will? Without free will, I cant decide whether what you're saying is true or not. It has already been decided for me. Therefore this discussion is ultimately meaningless. So why would God create a meaningless and pointless scenario?
You see how absurd the notion is?
