We can have a discussion on whether or not free will exists. Discuss if every action we do is already predetermined by how our brain is wired, with the environment around us being the inputs.
We can also have a discussion on whether or not humans have souls and analyze the evidence for and against us just being our bodies
(I made an error and had to repost, apologies)
Going back to Adam and Eve. If we didn't have free will, than God knew man would eat upon the forbidden fruit of the garden. Therefore, the forbidden fruit was planted knowing that it would be eaten. Apple = Sin
Saying that we don't have any free will pushes the responsibility of our actions externally. "I didn't hurt that person, as I don't have free will and it was pre-ordained"
That being said, I think we are all time travelers that can only change the future with the choices we make in the present.
The soul exists. Energy can't be created or destroyed, only transferred. The life force that is piloting the bodies must go somewhere. After all we are spirit, driving what is the Ferrari's of the universe.
Through iterations of form we gain experience of different lives, emotions, lessons and experiences.
TLDR;
Free will yes. Consequences of actions (good or bad) are presented during the life review at the end of that cycle.
Soul Yes. I am one of the souls that remembers their time before this body's life cycle.
