The commandments are rather faulty. the first four are just about worshiping Yahweh. You have no killing or stealing, with a long list of exceptions. Then you have thought crime.
Also why is Yahweh worth worshiping, anyway, and what makes him better than us?
Some people talk about everything belonging to Yahweh, who created everything, but just because you made it doesn't mean you retain ownership of it for all time. I can make a car, and give it to someone. that doesn't mean I can decide years down the road to just take it back.
Making a car and creating the universe are not even close to being the same.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
