Sure God gave us free will, but He is also has laws for us to go by and if we choose not to than we are disobeying Him.
The disobedience to God you describe is not punishable under United States law. Really, I've checked.
Imaging that ... God is going to prevail at the end of all things, He does, after all, works out everyting in conformity with the purpose of His will (Ephesians 1:11) and yet he gave man freedom to choose ... a man can say no to God.
He gives me life and gives me freedom .... then He does everything needed to pay for all the times I've screwed the pooch and told Him no so he can adopt me as a son ...
Isn't He awesome.
