yeah how are you doing. i believe i can shed some light on the situation of you question. free will and all. ok when you hear about how god made us into his image. well i believe that it was referring to the soul. well the soul needs things. wants things like love and happiness. some people need a little some people need a whole lot. god has this need of love too. so god created man. but if man could no choose what to love or hate then he would never truly love. so they need free will. so god gave us free will. but then god had the problem of if they only know the good then they will never know the bad and therefore can never truly love. so they need to eat the apple and all that but god couldent make them do and then kick them out of eden so they had to do it on there own. basically god wanted us to choose to love him but in doing so god only wanted good people to love him. so that set a few limitations ie morals and values coherent to god. god wanted it to be hard to lead the righteous life cause that way those who were righteous in spirit ie good christians would he very kind a gentle and all around good people. it basically like a filter. to keep the bad people away and keep the best people close to him. well that pretty much my thoughts on it and there you go. go have fun with this new idea if you want.
