That is very sweet of you to say, thank you so much for blessing me with your very kind words. I do realize that many who may see some of these exchanges are unaware of much of the back stories, which go back into other threads as well, threads that pre-date this one. That is why I take the time to recount some of it... so you know why some things of these things are said.

UNFALLEN Adam and Eve had the free will to make bad/wrong decisions.
Decisions that led to their "death" aka separation from God.

Agree absolutely, you nailed it!
Yet there really was no case ... it kinda reads like a show trial, no real weighty evidence from scripture fully expounded that supports a person is born unable/incapable of responding to the truth of the Gospel message when presented.
Jesus stated "strive to enter through the narrow gate" but He really did not mean it, no what he meant was you are corpse immobile on the floor.
Who knew even back then Jesus was using double speak.

From Romans 6:19-21 You used to offer your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness when you were slaves to sin. What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death. Thank you for the inspiration! I hope you and yours are well .

.
The Lord wasn't looking for people's religion on Passover night, nor was He
looking for people's piety and/or their conduct . He was looking for just one
thing, and one thing only: the blood.
That being the case, then had a Jewish family failed to apply the blood in the
proper manner, their first-born son would've been slain. On the other hand;
were an Egyptian family careful to apply the blood in the proper manner,
their son would've been spared because the The Lord is neither biased nor
prejudiced.
Along that same line; Jesus' blood will protect anybody and everybody who
applies it in the proper manner because he died for all; no exceptions
regardless of age, race, gender identity and/or religious affiliation. But many
won't be protected by his blood, because they will neglect to apply it at all,
let alone properly.
FAQ: What might be the proper way to apply Christ's blood?
REPLY: Well; you could start with an RSVP by speaking up and letting God
know you'd like to take advantage of His son's death to protect yourself from
retribution.
