As if sin was a genetic disorder we inherited the sins of Adam and Eve. Why punish and make accountable all of humanity for the sins of one couple over 6,000 years ago? That in my view is like punishing me for a crime that my brother committed. Makes me think that your Gods idea of judgement is skewed.
I don't believe we are punished because of Adams sin. Think that it should be seen as a sinful tendency that everyone has. We are judged by our own actions not our fathers. There are verses in the Bible which say this.

You think you have free will to do gods will but that is because you are doing something that he wants you to do so it "works out nicely", so to speak. However, if god does indeed give us free will, I should have the right to choose not to do his will if I so desire. If he condemns me for not doing his will then that is not free will.
I think I define free will as being able to choose otherwise. I could kill someone freely but I will be condemed and sent to prison. Reguardless of being locked up for it the action was my free choice. God is just and so has to punish unforgiven sin.
