Being on this planet for a while, and a Christian throughout my life, and having made some decisions I truly regret... My answer is, We absolutely have free will. God gave us free will. He does allow Satan to test us, and I think sometimes we are given the same test over and over, to learn from our mistakes, and finally "pass the test". In any case... our sins, our mistakes, no matter what they are... are forgiven by Jesus, if we believe in him as Our Savior. If God did not grant "free will", Eve would never have picked the apple off the tree. God does not control us, we are not his robots... He isn't "playing sims"... with His People. You are correct in, "Intent"... The why you did it... "Feelings"... How you felt after you did it... and "Judgement" from God is important... However, still, if Belief in Jesus Christ as "The forgiver of All Sins" is not present... There is a problem. We cannot heal ourselves from sin, only He can.
