Oh no. You have to want to believe and repent ... But that's free will, which is also ... Frowned upon

Frowned upon by whom? I seem to recall Christian theologians jumping through logical hoops for millennia to preserve both free will and an all-knowing God, specifically so that it would be just when God tortures people for eternity for sinning.

Eve eating the apple is the depiction of free will

Pretty sure that's sin.

Edit: But you can't have sin without free will, per Christian theology, if that's what you're getting at. Same way you can't have not-sin without free will.

A lot of people have half-cocked, pseudo-theological ideology they've formed from surface-level understanding of various texts and online forum psychology discussions.
