God has given to us free will. We can believe in Him or not. It is not His Will that any of us should perish. But He gives us that choice. He says in the Bible that His people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. May God Bless

No. God does not have free will. Because he is omniscient, he knows everything past, present and future. If he knows what is going to happen, he cannot change his actions otherwise he goes against his omniscience and he becomes wrong or unknowing. Therefore, his path is predetermined.
He has given his sheep free will, though. Ha, we've got something god doesn't. How ludicrous is that?

I am just gonna take a guess that if we are made in his image and we have free will, then it would probably stand to reason that God does.

hmmm apparently not as it seems that a god's worshipers can dictate their god's behavior with their expectations.
take for instance Jesus. unless Jesus returns jumping out of the sky with a gloria chorus of angels singing and blowing the last trump the Christians won't believe it's him. if he decided to return to Earth as a woman they'd totally reject him because he would not fit their expectations of him. plus he apparently is not allowed to pick the company he keeps for an eternity. if some mass murderer repents and becomes Christian on his way to his execution Jesus is suppose to let the creep waltz right into heaven. **shrug**

Since we do not have the capability to choose Him (and we give ourselves too much credit if we think that we do), He must choose us. So God has free will. We do not.

G-D WHO has no limits, limits HIMSELF by giving TheTorah. so that G-D is exercizing Self restraint when dealing with man in physicial totality. so if G-D has limited HIMSELF in reguards to any of HIS Totalities or Realms, the answer is no. but you must be aware this is by HIS Choice only, and for The HIS Reasoning only. even if this is beyond your ability to comprehend why.

He must, since He gave it all to us.
