God is not diminished by man's free will. Exactly. Man's free will is given by God.

Man's free will is given by God.Yes.
The conclusion that I reached regarding free will is that if man has it then God has glory and honour.
If man has no free will then God's glory and honour are just merely empty words.
Without free will, sin is meaingless, consequences become meaningless, judgement is also meaningless.

Given that man has to have a will to make choices, in the course of everyday life, the question is not whether he has free will, but the extent of it, with regard to his relationship (or lack thereof) with God.

Exactly. Man's free will is given by God.But even God's will is not as free as some like to make out Man's will to be.
God is not free to act in a manner contrary to His nature, and neither are we.
