God has revealed certain things about Himself to us. I expect that He was not lying. Therefore, I expect what God would or wouldn't do will be in line with what He has told us. Next?

Next, show why "He wouldn't do that [call on us to make choices] if we weren't capable of it" is something He revealed to us, rather than something that merely seems true at first.

Are you serious?

Unbelievable.

What loving human parent would require the impossible of his child? Say, for instance, that a 7 year old try out for and be selected for an NBA team?

In the scriptures, we are asked what parent would give his child a stone when he asks for bread, and then told that our Heavenly Father is much more loving than that.

Love is truthful. Requiring the impossible is dishonest.
Love is just. Requiring the impossible is unjust.
Love is kind. Requiring the impossible is unkind.

Either my statement is true, or God is dishonest, unjust, and unkind.
