    All Humans were given free will to choose Right from Wrong. That is why we are all on this planet, to be TESTED.

    free will is you doing what you will. Knowing good from evil helps people choose what they will do most times

    No. From the very beginning humankind has had free choice Adam and Eve were instructed what they were told what they were to do, read Genesis 1:28 - 31. How they went about it was their free choice, there was only one restriction given first to Adam before his wife Eve was created, see Genesis 2:15 - 18, one tree called '' the tree of the knowledge of good and bad,'' was not to be eaten from. A small restriction that would show whether they loved God and accepted him as their Sovereign. Eve was conned by Satan Adam chose to listen to Satan and disobey Jehovah. Down to this day we have the free choice to obey or disobey God's righteous standards or not whether to worship and serve Jehovah God or other gods or not, whether to obey the laws of the land we live in or not. It is our free choice to choose and we will all get the results from the choice or choices we make.

    GOD ALLOWS US TO MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES BUT THOSE WHO DO NOT REPENT WILL NOT PASS JUDGMENT.

    (((IF))) you're not a Christian who follows "the commandments Jesus gives through the Holy Ghost" (Acts 1:2) received after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5) 

    THEN you have "free will on the choice between good and evil"

    TRUE Christians (I Corinthians 12:11-13) are like Jesus who said

    "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek (((NOT MINE OWN WILL,))) but the will of the Father which hath sent me" (John 5:30)

    Who "puts His Spirit inside of us and (((CAUSES))) us to obey His commandments" (Ezekiel 36:27) when we are Holy Spirit baptized (Acts 1:5;8) and have "joined to His Spirit" (I Corinthians 6:17).

    Which is why TRUE Christians have received (((POWER))) to become the sons of GOD" (John 1:12) when Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5;8) so when "temptations" arise

    "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it" (I Corinthians 10:13).

    "My yoke is easy and My burden light" (Matthew 11:30) but today's Christians are hustling and scuffling (((TRYING))) to (((DO))) right.

    What is this obsession you people have with good and evil? Do you comprehend that they are meaningless terms defined by whatever society exists at the time? Even things you think are objectively good and moral only seem that way from a human perspective.
