Right! I ask them, "Does God have the ability to sin?" The answer is "no". Since he is limited to only doing good, does this mean that we praise him any less? Rather, he deserves more praise because he can only do good. Also, since Christ was not able to sin, was not he then limited to only love God? Of course.
The point is, we are limited or forced to act according to our nature. God is limited or forced to do good because his nature is good. So is Christ.
Is a dog a robot because it can only bark, and not meow? Is a cat a robot for a similar reason? No, we act according to our nature. So, when it comes to Adam, this is the tricky issue to resolve. What was Adam's nature?
