If Adam and Eve had been created as robots that we control, they would not have disobeyed God. But they were created IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, which suggests that God has free will and therefore CONSTANTLY MAKES CHOICES.

This is how some early apostles / teachers put it. See if you can see the common theme they teach regarding the differences between God and the Son of God.

There is God and there is creation. The beginning is creation. Before the cosmos, there was God and the Word that was with him. But God is supreme. Someone had to be first. And the first would rightly be called the Son of God.

There were two trees in the garden. They represented choice. At that time, God instructed man to eat from one tree. Man disobeyed.

I would vote for a person that declared that. As long as he wasn’t just saying it for the votes. I imagine that many would not vote for him for saying that though. so most likely he means it.

Free will allows us to crucify our own choices in favour of God’s choices.
“Not MY Will, but YOURS”.
Berean replied to the topic Free Will? in the forum Truth or Tradition 3 years, 6 months ago
Even if our will is placed on the side of God in Christ, it does not mean that we do not/no longer have free choice, because “not me but Christ” is a spiritual process….through which God works in us to make us ONE IN CHRIST AS CHRIST IS ONE WITH THE FATHER.
WITHOUT FREE WILL MAN WOULD NOT EVEN NEED TO GIVE UP HIMSELF, BEING A ROBOT…GeneBalthrop replied to the topic Free Will? in the forum Truth or Tradition 3 years, 6 months ago
To all…….We must “ALL” put our wills to death, exactly like Jesus did or we simply will not be in the kingdom of God. We must all “overcome” our own wills, even as Jesus overcame his own, will.

Free will is like giving away sovereignty. When this happens, you have self-rule and the giver takes a risk because the choices that the new entity makes may not necessarily line up with the will of the one who gave the free will or self-rule in the first place.
But as the saying goes, “if you love something, set it free”.
