you only see one point of the whole area doesn't mean your are right but on the contrary you just hold that one word such freewill a word in the modern world has created does not mean it doesn't exist. Freewill exist and god created it and wants us to see it how he holds it to see he has.
Please: You really need to proofread your contributions here. I can't make sense of it. Thank you.
Our human free will is not absolutely free
We have various limitations and boundaries, natural , societal and religious and that is built into the design and cycles that happen
Just as with human rulership which has 'relative authority' in relationship with God's 'absolute authority'.
In other words, we obey the authorities unless they contradict God's authority - Acts 5:29 - then choose God over man.
Jesus said, " For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that who so ever beliveth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life , He that believeth is not condemned because he that believeth not is dead already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" John 3; 3; 16,17,
The words repent and be converted in scriptures prove it is all a matter of free choice.
Free will is an illusion. You have a choice but you are not free. Even now, all of us are either slaves to sin or slaves to Christ.
Think whatever makes you feel good though.
I am a slave to Christ, free from choosing not to sin. Reject Christ and become SINS Slave. It's that simple.
You see we were created by God for God. It's his show and he is the owner of everything, get it. Close your eyes and what do you see, thats exactly what you and I own.

No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !
Jn 6:44
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
No man can come here means no man has the ability to come to Christ. that cancels out the myth that man has a freewill,
It also means that no man has the ability to believe on Christ for Salvation. Because Christ equates believing on Him with coming to Him. Jn 6:64-65
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
What about those Jesus says to them Jn 5:40
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Thats answered in Jn 6:44 they simply will not come because they cannot come unless the Power of God draws them and makes them willing
Ps 110:3
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
If and when one comes to believe on Christ willingly, the credit goes to Gods Power !
