Sounds more like an ultimatum given the dire consequences for non-compliance.
Depends on your perspective. If you believe God simply made a way to protect you from a bad end than it's a gift. If you believe God made a punishment for disobeying, then it's an ultimatum.
Well god made it all, including the bad, so it's a stacked game with an ultimatum.
Again, it depends on how you look at it. Maybe it was the only way to make the game if you want a game with free will and choices. Is it possible to love without the possibility to hate? Is it even possible to have good without the possibility of evil?
