From Thomas Hilton - Mormon Scholars Testify

Another extraordinary example of the miraculous truth of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is the uniquely LDS response to the question of free will versus determinism: how can humans, as creations of an all-powerful God, have free will? Either God’s omnipotent creative act irrevocably determines our ultimate destiny and every waypoint leading to it, or He isn’t omnipotent after all.

Again comes the perfect truth of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Per the scriptures referenced above, we see that eternal, uncreated human intelligences interact with God as existentially independent agents. God most assuredly could run us all like robots, but His will that we each be perfected to our ultimate joy leads Him to give us life, knowledge, agency, and commandments (see Moses 7:32-33), the ingredients of joy. Thus we have agency, or what I sometimes call “self-determinism.” Yes, our ultimate fruition is already determined, but by our own eternal natures. True, this could be called determinism, but I hope it’s clear that it isn’t the determinism of traditional western thought: rather it is each of us blossoming through God’s love into all the unique splendor of which each of us has been individually, uniquely capable from all eternity. What could be more free? What could be more beautiful?
