Did Adam Have a Free Will?

When God made Himself seen to Moses, he couldn't see His face it would have killed him.

So either it was a preincarnate appearance of Christ that Moses seen, or he actually seen the Father.

If it was the Father, "No man hath seen God at any time" would mean that no man has ever seen the Father in all His Glory.

Personally I believe the Jehovah God of the OT is Jesus Christ, and that is who Moses seen.

The One who appeared to Adam and Eve in the garden, to Abrraham and Moses, and as the Angel of Yahweh to me were all the Preincarnated God the Son

Good thing that I'm not an open theist. The Bible tells me that God has foreknowledge and is sovereign. It also tells me that human beings are able to make the right choice or the wrong choice. Just like scripture doesn't give us all the details on the nature of the Trinity, it doesn't give us all the details about how God works behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes. As you pointed out, Sodom would have repented, meaning that they had the ability to do so.

Spiritual dead sinners like we all once were cannot just decide to will themselves back to being alive again

As you pointed out, Sodom would have repented, meaning...

...predestination is not according to 'foreknowledge' as you understand it.

that they had the ability to do so.

...did they, though? Would it have been a true conversion, or a conversion like that of Ninevah at the preaching of Jonah?

This is what I hear you saying. His plan was predestined. NOT us.

This (the pronouns) has been pointed out to @Charlie24 before, but his severe CDS blinds him.
