To me there are actually 3 distinguishing issues here,
1) Free will
- dose free will exist
The answer is Yes
2) Contradiction between omnipotence and free will
- is there a contradiction between omnipotence and free will
The answer is No
3) the extent of His omnipotence
- Why Satan is not destroyed yet (cross-realm data and analysis required)
- Why a plan is needed (cross-realm data and analysis required)
- Is omnipotence simultaneous or only effective as He wishes (actually i think there should be an answer for this)
The answer is noone knows
It's no point to leverage the uncertainty of point 3) to justify a point of view of 1) and 2).
