Edit: Oops, point made earlier. Please continue.

Because He chose to give us free will rather than force us to think and act a certain way. I'm sure He could have if He wanted to, but He chose not to.

The fact that your story asserts eternal damnation for sin means that our alleged souls are held hostage.

This abrogates any free will we might have.

By your logic, the armed robber ought to be found innocent because his victim chose to surrender his wallet ... never mind the gun pointing at the victim's head.
