Actually, the freedom to choose good or bad makes the good all the more potent and worthwhile. Without freedom we are not living, thinking beings--we are systems. God did not create us merely to do good actions, as a robot would do. He created is for love. He, like all of us, desires relationships with other intelligent beings. If we love God and sin, that is far better than doing good without love. In fact, without intelligence there is no right or wrong because there lies no thought behind the action. Only when we are given free choice does morality enter the equation.
Is it not saying you are free to choose except for the things I tell you not to choose?
Further, if all they were doing is exercising their free willed choice, why did God throw such a fit against them and all of mankind and the earth itself with his curses?
Why did he throw a fit when they did their will and not his?
In fact, why did he kill A & E because of their free willed choice?
Your God only says that they are free to do as told does he not?
