According to your definition of "real" free will God must be CAPABLE of sin! That's pretty sick you know.

No, according to my definition God must be confronted with a real choice. That, my friend, is the point of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness by Satan. It is not a temptation unless both the good choice and the bad choice are POSSIBLE.

Hebrews 4:15 Hebrews 4 Hebrews 4:14-16 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

No, according to your definition God must be CAPABLE of the real choice to sin. This is what you said; CAPABLE! And this is dreadfully wrong as it denies the very nature of Christ!
