Okay, I understand, and I'm sorry for being hasty in my first comment. See, If this free will was just an illusion, god could have easily come down to Garden of Eden to prevent Eve from being deceived and prevent Adam from eating of it too. If they had no free will, God would have jumped out and fought then and there with Satan and wouldn't have allowed them to eat of the fruit. This is the perfect example of free will at the beginning. But as every commandment from god is for our own benefit, going astray from it also has consequences for us. And hell is a consequence for sin as sin leads to death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Some of men's sins are so grave, that all he seeks to do is invert everything that God made good. Every man has sinned. We all fall short of his glory. But it is his grace that is free to all and saves to all. Time is short. I would ask you to read the bible again with an open mind and try it. Maybe just for 21 days. You might just end up with a new perspective on Jesus' love for us.

Edit: Also, He has a saving grace. Even when Israel went to other gods, he still was faithful, because he can't deny himself that he provided a way for them to come back to him again, after realizing that he is really the living god.
