Again, is God powerful enough to give us free will?

Really? Created any universes lately? Or are you LDS, working your way up to become god of your own. Oh, but if you're female, you don't get to do that. Where does it say that we have the same will that God does?

God has "ultimate" will, He IS will. If by free will we mean the choice to choose whatever action we want to do, then God does have that -- and more. By granting us the ability to choose, that does not in any way negate or denigrate God's own will, omnipotence and omniscience.

Why He doesn't keep us as marionettes, I don't know, but God does.
