"The law of love being the foundation of the government of God, the happiness of all intelligent beings depends upon their perfect accord with its great principles of righteousness. God desires from all His creatures the service of love,-service that springs from an
appreciation of His character. He takes no pleasure in a forced obedience; and to all He grants freedom of will, that they may render Him voluntary service."
-Patriarchs and Prophets, 34: 3.
We are told in the Bible that the mark of Cain is that of force, compelling and domination. The devil is a control freak!
On the other hand, God is the author of LIBERTY. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY.” 2 Corinthians 3:17. We are also admonished that, “By their FRUIT you shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 20. If you do a FRUIT inspection on both sides of this argument, you will find that the one side is riddled with force, domination, control, demands and compelling with no individual liberty.

On the opposite side, it is extremely evident that everyone is given individual liberty, the right to personal choice, and freedom of conscience. This comes from God; the other comes from the powers of darkness.
