God roasts none in Hell , as all sinners have decided to go thre by rejecting Chrsit!
Question: were they ever capable of not sinning? Did they have the ability to choose Christ, having not been elected?

Choice and predestination aren't exactly all that friendly.Their final destiny was predetermined by God, but they still chose to reject Christ, God did not cause them to do that!
God is not willing that any should perish.
Predestination applies only from God towards His own elect in Christ!Scripture never refers to the elect except in the context of already being saved. Scripture never speaks of lost people as being elect. Ever.
God so loved the world, not just the elect.

Elections is corporate and one only becomes elect once they are saved.
They would not have that ability, but would still freely choose to reject Jesus!Question: were they ever capable of not sinning? Did they have the ability to choose Christ, having not been elected?
As sinnrs, we hae freedom to choose still, but limitedas to what we can choose!Choice and predestination aren't exactly all that friendly.
The illusion of choice, sure.
They would not have that ability, but would still freely choose to reject Jesus!

Due to thm being found in Adam, not in Christ, as the have rejected Him!Then why do any perish?
Predestination applies only from God towards His own elect in Christ!
We re still free to choose what we want!How can you freely do something if you have no other option? That's not freedom. That's determinism.
Agree with first point, not second one, s predestination applies only towards His elect!If by predestination you mean God predestined some specific individuals to be predestined to salvation and other specific individuals to be predestined to hell then you have no biblical support.
Is a sinner rejecting Christ on their own not sufficent?Except we can't choose the things that really matter, eh?

There is no real free will, just limited one!Cop-out. An earthworm is free to choose what it wants. If your freedom is only to act according to your desires/impulses, you have no freedom.
