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

The question is not "could God" the question is did He??

We are made in the IMAGE and likeness of God...

God does not have a totally free will..He can not violate His Holy nature or He ceases to be God..

Like God man can not violate his natural fallen nature..he will always act and choose according to that nature unless God changes that nature back to one that is in HIS image..

We then have a true few will, one like Adam had in the garden, one that allows us to choose to sin or not to sin.

Does God have the right to decide what of His creations He chooses to adopt as His children or is His will dominated by His creations?

No, the question I’m asking is “could He?”
