Hello and Love in order for it to be Love MUST have the power to say NO, Adam and Eve did that and with terrible results and the results is the same today, God "SO" Loved that He gave... but one must decide if that Love is something we are going to respond to or not, no God does not force, that person who will force is called satan, but "if" you love me [then] keep my commandments and if you love Him enough to keep His commandments [not suggestions] then you will love Him enough to be there if not you won't its that simple, God bless www.amazingfacts.org

It's a matter of freedom. We would all HATE IT if God treated us like a horse with a bridle to keep us from going where we wanted to go.
We can't have it both ways. Either we are free to disobey Him, be angry with Him, and move dismiss Him from our lives....or we want our lives completely controlled without doing anything on our own.
God's only control is to warn us by the Ten Commandments and other teachings in the Bible. After that, it's our responsibility to stay with God or follow the world, the devil and our own fleshly desires.

it's all about God giving us freedom of choice...
like we have talked about COUNTLESS times on yahoo!answers.
many times the results of sinful paths ultimately draw us closer to God. it is the plan.
sometimes our sinful nature is so out of control that it almost destroys our life. it is at the lowest point in their life that many people realize they can't do it on their own, but need God's help.
if they are honestly hungry enough for God & for a change in their life, God will always oblige.
freedom to choose your earthly path in life.... resulting in eternity of reward or torture.
my LORD Jesus is a just God!

I believe God gives us choice. He CAN stop us if he wanted to. But then if we had no choice, we would all be angels not humans. God gives us the knowledge and tools to stop ourselves from sinning. Its up to us to find the right path.

It's called free agency. God gives us the choice as to whether we will follow Him or not. Forcing us was Lucifer's plan which was rejected. Read your Bible and this question is answered for you there.

Because He gave us free will to choose our path. Otherwise, everyone would be robots.

Free will and because he wants to see what decisions we make and if we are smart enough to follow it.

He does. He gives us the option of doing it, whether you do it or not is your choice.
