It is written 'and commanded YHWH God to the man, saying "Of every tree in the garden to eat you will be eating, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, not eating from, when in the day you are to eat of it to die you will be dying"' (Genesis 2:16-17).
The command issued by the Creator in Genesis 2:16-17 reveals fruit of the creature; in other words, God's command exposes Adam's obedience or Adam's disobedience.
The command of God states God's rule for Adam.
The command of God does not confer an ability to obey for Adam; furthermore, the command of God does not confer an ability to disobey for Adam.
Scripture reveals that Adam disobeyed God's command; therefore, scripture reveals Adam's ability to disobey God.
That was the single command issued by God to Adam, and Adam disobeyed; moreover, no account of Adam obeying a command of God exists in scripture.
No scripture reveals Adam's ability to obey God.
The English word "choose" has a Hebrew word equivalent of "בָּחר" (bachar -Strong's Number 977).
The Hebrew word "בָּחר" does not occur in the creation account (Genesis 1:1-31 Genesis 2:1- 25 Genesis 3:1-24).
God did not say "you have the ability to obey" nor did God say "you have the ability to choose to obey".
Adam did not have the ability to freewill choose toward God.
As this post in this thread shows, Paul compared and contrasted Adam to Jesus, and the flesh man precedes the spiritual man for every person
Just as the original post shows richly in scripture, Adam was not imparted free will, and no man thereafter was imparted free will neither.
