First, I would love to hear you make a biblical and exagedical argument for free will from the Bible. The philosophical debate around "Free Will" is considered to have first emerged in ancient Greek philosophy, with thinkers like Aristotle, Epicurus, and Democritus discussing the concept of agency and the ability to make choices, laying the foundation for the idea of free will as we understand it today; however, the terminology and specific arguments around free will were further developed in "later" Christian philosophy, So if you're arguing for free will you're first arguing a greek philosophical idea. So, since you're arguing for a Greek philosophical construct, I would recommend you listen to Robert Sapolsky, Who instead of making a philosophical argument, rather makes a biological argument against free will. This is an AI generated answer to the question of free will and sin. "With the power of free will, one can actively choose to not sin and, through ongoing commitment and personal growth, strive to never sin again." So the question from this would be are you perfect and why not?
Lamentations 3: 34-39 To crush underfoot all the prlsoners of the earth, to deny a man justlce in the presence of the Most High, to subvert a man in his Iawsuit, the Lord does not approve. Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come? Why should a living man complain, a man, about the punishment of his slns? Acts 2: 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you cruclfied and klIIed by the hands of Iawless men. This is no such thing as autonomous free will. The only One that has free will is the Lord. If we had autonomous free will then we would be in line with God and even live outside of His will. This isnt true. The Biblical understanding of this is the Lord decrees all things but man is 100% responsible for his actions as Lamentations 3 says. The Lord decreed the fall of humanity but it was Adam and Eve's fault. If He didn't decree it then Acts 2: 23 would be a Iie and the Lord just reacted to Adam and Eve's action after having done what they did and at that moment prepared His plan of redemption. The Lord decreed Judas' betrayal but he was 100% responsible as Acts 2: 23 says, where he actually thought what he was going to do to Christ and planned it all out in his head. And this is the reason why every single human being will be judged in accordance to his actions (John 5: 28-29). God's Word says that a person's actions are dictated by his nature, whether in Adam or in Christ, whether a sIave to sin or sIave to rightousness. Romans 6: 15-23

Lamentations 3: 34-39
To crush underfoot
all the prlsoners of the earth,
to deny a man justlce
in the presence of the Most High,
to subvert a man in his Iawsuit,
the Lord does not approve.
Who has spoken and it came to pass,
unless the Lord has commanded it?
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that good and bad come?
Why should a living man complain,
a man, about the punishment of his slns?
Acts 2: 23
this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you cruclfied and klIIed by the hands of Iawless men.
