That God is bound to his nature is just the definition of nature. If he was not bound to his moral goodness, then it would not be a nature, it would be a preference. Free will does not mean "can do anything". One's nature would always be a limiting factor to available choices. 

Wait. What is the point of inventing the supernatural category to explain god's omni powers and undetectability if you're going to turn right around and say God's nature is the reason God's behavior itself is constrained by a more comprehensive 'nature' which apparently encompasses both what the rest of us call nature and your supernatural? You seem to be biting yourself in the ass.
