Why not, why -couldn't- a person have free will without the possibility of sin.? Either in the narrow and cracked notion of christian theology or in the broader measure of some actual thing that the term might refer to? If I have free will...I have free will. Yet, I don't skullfuck children. Do I skullfuck children exactly as much as I want and freely will to? Yes. Could I skullfuck a child? No
There's a difference between something being a problem for your theology and a problem for will, or free will.
Did christ have free will? Did christ sin? Could christ have sinned?
How about hitting it from the other direction? Is free will or volition required for sin as innate depravity? Do you have to will to be what you are by birth? Can we will ourselves otherwise?
Death as the token? What about death modifies the situation? Do you lose your free will in death? If you retain your free will in death and sin is made possible by free will, would you not remain capable of sin? If some sin is innate then why would it matter whether you kept or lost your free will in death?
