While God is in no way limited in power or knowledge, as Bigfry observed there are things God cannot do, because they are contrary to his nature, or inherently contradictory. God cannot lie, it is contrary to his nature. God cannot make a square circle, because the categories of squares and circles are mutually exclusive. You have the same problem with the premise of a cosmos of personalities with free-will but no possibility of wrong choices. These are mutually exclusive categories.

Obvioulsy you feel differently about what you have said here, but as far as I can tell, you have just effectively limited the power and ability of God. That means he is not all powerful. And that contradicts much of what I have read and heard, from many people posting in this topic. Which just puts me back in square one, with conflicting messages.

If you contend that free will and laways choosing right are mutually exclusive, then they are only that way because God made them that way. I thought God did not bend to obey the rules of the cosmos, mainly because He defines them.
