What about capricious but not arbitrary?
I can't see a way that GOD could be capricious and not arbutrary. That may just be some limitation of mine but it is one I don't see a logical way around.
Why do you think that if god has the ability but chooses to or not to use it, then she is capricious?
Well, that would mean that any given moment, any given act, might or might not be subject to freewill. Freewill then becomes more or less a crapshoot, dependent on whether GOD has used Her ability of foreknowledge regarding that particular incident.

If GOD is capricious, then there really are no rules, no right and wrong, no freewill and no standards.

I don't really see why but if you don't feel like typing it out, no problem.
Because you have absolutely no idea of what GOD's perspective or reaction will be under any given set of circumstances or whether you are making choices or GOD has stepped in and removed freewill
in this particular instance.
