When God said; "man has become like gods" God threw him out of the garden. Are you sure God wanted Man to have freewill. Or did He make man as slaves to "multiply and fill the earth and cultivate it" as a private estate for Himself. COMPARISON: Plantation owner to slave: "Have a lot of kids and pick that cotton".
I don' wanna pick no cotton. I wanna be free.
DROP DEAD!

It's not that Adam and Eve had no free will. They obviously did, they chose to eat the fruit. They just had no knowledge of good and evil, their eyes had not been opened, so to speak. It seems that God wanted them to remain innocent, or ignorant. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

Of Course its free will. If you choose to be a Christian then you choose to live by the guidelines that God gives us. A lot of the people misunderstand the purpose of the bible. God did not give us the bible to run all of the fun in our lives or to make us holy so that we can be miserable compared to everyone else in the world, he gave it to us to save us from ourselves. For instance, He says " thou shall no lie" why would God say this to us? Not to make our lives miserable but if we lie we now have the potential to make our lives miserable because another lie has to back the first lie and another lie has to cover that one and if we get caught it really sucks. So, in saying this, God does give us free will. never has he held a gun to our heads saying " you must believe in me and do my will" he simply shows that if you do believe in him and do his will then life will be a lot easier. I am a proud witness of this:)

Have you ever had to pay for your free will.
Your mind thinks and you don't have to pay for it
Its a pic of what you want in your life.
Free will is free
its what you do with the decision that costs.
