You can’t have free will without the option to choose anything. If you can’t choose evil you don’t have free will it’s just a semblance of free will. If you’d prefer a semblance of free will that’s valid
It doesn’t. All I’m saying is that your assertion that free will requires that evil is a choice assumes the existence of evil in the first place. If God never created evil, then it’s simply not something you could ever choose, just like an infinity of other non-things that you cannot choose. But that doesn’t inhibit your free will.
Can you do everything you want to, like fly by flapping your arms? No? Still you say you have free will. Can you buy a rocket and send it to mars? You cant? Still you say you have free will. Limited choices do not mean that you do not have free will.
Adding on to this, God is supposed to be able to know the future so at the moment of creation knows exactly how it’ll all play out. Ignoring how this alone would mean many versions of free will wouldn’t be possible, God could simply only create the people that would freely choose the right things. Why create those that He knows will just go to hell?

I choose hedbidittle!
Oh! I can’t have hedbidittle, because it doesn’t exist. It’s not even a concept.
Well then, I guess I don’t have free will.
How does free will mean absolute power?
