It seems that the fact that the man could choose is actually an imperfection.

If you're perfect because you can choose, but you are not allowed to choose, because when you choose you die... what the hell is then this allowing to choose?

I don't want a man that won't eat the fruit...

Imperfection is not something that belongs to humans alone. This mortal existence is a part of the whole universe. Nothing is perfect except in its imperfection.
Nothing lasts forever. Everything that is born, dies. Even the universe will eventually cease to exist.
The human mistake is in the degree we embrace our imperfections and embelish our wickedness. We enjoy being mean, being greedy, being evil. There is a lot of personal pleasure that comes from excessive material wealth and thumbing our noses at those with less.
Let's face it... even if you knew for sure that your car was contributing to polution and the ultimate destruction of the environment, would you stop driving it?
Of course not.

Well the Father made the perfect man,remember he was perfect until he broke the law an sin. This was apart of his plan that he gave us freedom to choose his way or our way, Life or death,his way is life our way is death. We cause death and a deceitful way of life.Than in making a man who had freewill we are the ones that left him not that he left us , cause every time that we sin we move away from the Father.This was plan from the beginning all that is cause is our doing so we can see what life without his laws bring an never forget that we need him.

No, those bunch of gods who were programming Adam's genetic codes could not find a way to allow him to have free will ((and)) to obey. But they were exceedingly astonished when they realised that their creation turned out to be wiser than they! But this is only because the serpent (Lucifer) descended into the garden to "open" their minds with the tree of knowledge (activation of free-thinking mind?) Anyway, those gods (mad scientists) were so embarrassed by all this that they expelled Adam & Wife from the comforts of the lab into the hostile world where they took shelter in caves. Meanwhile, those gods continued with their genetic experiments for about a thousand years. They could live indefinitely as long as they continued to eat from the tree of life.

Sure God could have created mind-dead zombies that would do his will with no free choice. But thankfully that did not happen. Could you imagine a world without freedom to choose? All programmed to think identically and no contrast between good and evil. Pretty boring if you ask me.
God didnt want Adam to eat the fruit, but he gave him the freedom to choose, and Adam suffered the fate of his bad choice. Such is life, we suffer for our bad choices.

sure he could but then he would be taking away that creations free will. Thats why Adam and Eve ate the fruit. God gave them choice, they were not robots at his command with no personalities. God is All Mighty. He can do anything he wants.

Sure he could of, but then that would defeat the whole purpose. God created man with free agency, meaning he wanted us to choose him freely.

This would be the angels. We were given a choice, which makes the good from us more perfect in the eyes of God than angels.

Eve ate the fruit but yes most definitely free will had a part in it but yet one man that had free will still did not break any commandments, that was Jesus.

He could have made us to love Him by force, perhaps with a pull-string that when He pulls it, it says " I love you"....but we all know that would never be real love. There is no person that is perfect except one, Jesus. God loves us regardless of our mistakes we make. God knows whats in our hearts.
