God is capable of all things, but He has granted us the *gift* of free
will.  We are not robots or slaves.  We are His servants if we *choose*
to be, but we always have the choice.  God is not "unable" to do 
anything, He simply allows us to do what is bad for us.  Like any 
father with his child, at some point he lets go and it is up to the 
child to make the right decisions.
