Having a free will is not sin. But some of what we choose to do it. God created us with a free will because He will never force Himself on us. We must choose Him.

The bible never said it was an apple.
Freewill is not a sin. It is what we do with freewill.
We really don't have freewill we either submit it to God to serve him or we live for ourselves and come under the bondage of a curse.

No- it was free will that gave Adam the choice between obeying or disobeying God.
All creation has free will. That's how Satan became the Devil. He was created perfect but also as a free moral agent. He chose to defy God and try to elevate himself above the one who had created him.
God isn't interested in compulsory service. He wants us to serve Him by choice, because we love Him and appreciate all that He has done for us.

Free Will was given to the First Man and Woman Adam and Eve because Satan had already been hurled out of heaven..
We were given the option to follow GOD or lucifer Eve did by eating of the forbidden fruit and so the story goes..
We should love GOD with all our heart and soul and keep his commandments..
God knows the heart is strong but the flesh is weak.

actuall Adam and Eve had complete free will
they could choose good or evil
as a result of their fall, we have an inclination to sin and are powerless to save ourselves and in need of grace
we have a free will all right, but it is a will tainted and limited by a fallen nature... we need grace to live and to have changed hearts that will freely do and enjoy good

No. Freewill is the ability to choose good and evil.

No, he had Free Will before then, but it wasn't until he ate the fruit that he used his Free Will to disobey. He had been living in perfect harmony with God before that.

freewill is a sin because
you have give up your freewill and become a slave to god
if you dont you have sinned and are condemable to hell
christianity is just a belief thats promotes slavery
