Chris that post makes 0 sense.... If God knows the outcome of everything is Predetermined therefore there is NO free will...
Let's think that the story is not about God, but you with time machine and Bob.
Whether what Bob will say, you can just use the time machine to go to the future and see what he will choose for his drink. Bob still has his free will, but his free will is useless for you because you have time machine. For Bob..he can change his mind 1000 times but you can just use your time machine.

what was the point of giving Adam and Eve the chance to obey in the first place? He knew darn well they would sin so why even let them in the garden? If they were Put in the imperfect world in the first place... they wouldn't know the difference?
I think if God didn't put them in the garden for the first place, there would be no free will for Adam & Eve.
And maybe also to let us know the story about original sin and how the world changed.
