then how can we have free will? by giving us free will, he's giving up power over us (unless you decide to believe in him)...

God is so powerful that He has the power to control His own power over us ---this is the definition of "free will".

God is all powerful and he did give us free will to decide what is right and what is wrong for ourselves.
What don't you get about that?

He chose to not use His Power to make us robots, so He chose to make us in His image with free will to choose. He chose with His Power to sacrifice His Son Jesus for us, so that by Jesus' death, we might live. He chose to love us.

God is all powerful. He can make us love Him. But he gave us a chioce, because he wants our actual Love, not forced love, out of fear. He wants us to truly love Him, not cower down in Fear. (different then the fear of the Lord, mind you.) Love from fear isnt real love. Example..... Wouldn't you rather marry someone who actually loved you, instead of marrying you because you forced them to love you.
