Before we get started just a quick review.
I hope you are willing to back up the validity of your 'review'.
Sin is anything not in the Expressed Will of God.
Evil is a malicious intent to commit sin.
Not all sin is evil but all evil is sin.
Free will is the ability to choose a path outside of God's expressed will. In other words it is the ability to sin.
6. Thou shall not murder

[mur-der] Show IPA
–noun
1.
Law . the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).
Key word being 'premeditation'. When God created the flood, when God issued the order for every first born son to be killed, his acts were by definition premeditated. He knew exactly what would happen, and he 'killed' (by definition) other human beings under this premeditation. This is murder, by definition.
If God's will were to exist absent of sin, he would not murder any human being. Unfortunately, he's killed millions under his direct order. A tough pill to swallow, but such is reality.
We have been given freewill so we may choose were we wish to spend eternity.
Hearsay. Show me actual proof or stop attempting to argue atheists.
Free will is the ability to sin.
That is a horribly depressing definition of free will. I love it when religious people call out atheists for being close-minded, bitter, and hopeless; yet a Christian will define free will as the ability to do wrong. I really do not like insulting other people, but your philosophy of humanity is utterly disgusting and deplorable. Shame on you for giving humanity such little credit, we'll see who you're begging for when you acquire cancer, the lovely random and pointless lethal disease God has bestowed us with.
Spare me the "death is a gift" response, and give me something with evidential substance. If you cannot, don't bother replying to anything I say.
Then the purpose of sin is to give an individual the choice on whether or not he wants to live with God(in Heaven) under His Expressed Will.
Nope, you're describing a "test" scenario. We are given a choice, and tested upon that choice. If we make the wrong choice, we are eternally damned. If we make the right choice, we are given eternal paradise.
I know you can't mentally do this, but at least
try to imagine that you are God and that you have infinite power to create the universe, billions of galaxies with billions of stars, planets of all different types, and at least 1 planet that contains BILLIONS of forms of life/existence. Given the sheer
science it takes to come to these factual conclusions, how can you eternally condemn trillions of species to either vanish from existence, or burn in Hellfire forever? You are the most powerful being that exists, and you know that. Why condemn anybody to Hell? Isn't it just messed up at that point? Even if "justified", an all-loving God would not create Hell for ANYBODY. That is pure logic and fact.
Because in the Garden the option of sin was apart of it's original design. Represented by the placement of the tree of knowledge in the center of the garden. Before Adam and eve were created.
Again with premeditation and testing. Why must God test us when he knows what the outcome will be? What is the point of a 'test' in that case?
Again because in the garden we were given the choice.
Garden of Eden = paradise. Heaven = paradise. In the Garden, we were given the choice between good and evil...in Heaven, we must also be given the choice between good and evil. That means we can commit an evil action in Heaven, since it is merely an expression of our free will. Heaven is no longer perfect, and neither is paradise.
