Okay. Going with that...

How is this not God creating divine law? If he "gave" it to us, where did it come from?

The context was "our" free will, not God's. It doesn't matter how God got his free will. If he created us in his definition, then he created human free will. Human free will is what is being discussed. The origin of God's is a red herring.

...and he created the system with that potential.

Only if we muddle the context.
