Which he designed for the very purpose of containing those that did not use their "free will" correctly, knowing before he started exactly how many and who were going to wind up there.

There's no way to give man free will without making him free to choose to separate himself from God ... and it's not at all clear that without free will man could be fit for Heaven.

"There's no way to give man free will without making him free to choose to separate himself from God ... "

True -
But are you thinking that he didn't KNOW when he drew the blueprints how many would choose which way ?
That he could not have tilted the playing field in any other direction he chose ?

"and it's not at all clear that without free will man could be fit for Heaven."

Uh ... he's God, you think he's constrained by some sort of cosmic rulebook ?
