So when Adam and Eve were created, they were told to eat anything they wanted in the Garden, except for the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve was tricked by the serpant and Adam sinned. God knows everything that is going to happen, the future, everything. He knew Adam was gonna sin, he let him do it anyway. You know why? Because there wouldn't be choice, you know who to love and obey. Without that, we all would love God mindlessly. So God lets us choose, to do whatever we want. But for the people who work hard and dont get stuff or murder or stealing. Gods made a few appearances, but its only helpful when prayers are to come. God has a plan for everyone, and those who choose to do the wrong thing in life will be judged.
If I was God, yes I would give people free will, because I wouldn't want peoples love for me to be fake. Like Fake friends and such
