To answer your question ... OBVIOUSLY the answer in a resounding NO.
There's no way that the christian god could possibly be free with as many contraditions and paradoxes that the Bible has him faced with. That being said (and since I'm a deist myself), I believe that the one true God (whomever he/she is) is completely and totally free - because I don't believe he's perfect, I don't believe he knows all, I don't believe he's "got it in" for anybody or out to save anybody either. I don't think he's the big sky-daddy waiting for souls to love him. I think he may be the most missunderstood, miss-construed, blatantly falsified and unimaginable being that ever existed. In my mind, that makes him free. Hell, for all I know, he hasn't been to this planet for 6 billion years and doesn't even know we exist .... but than again, I can't prove any of this and don't care to. I'm simply answering your question about a god that IS well defined by a holy book ... the christian god. No he's not free and he's not somebody I would ever care to know, let alone, worship.
