Powerless god or Powerful God?

If God can't make a man go to heaven by the free choice of His will, then He certainly couldn't have the ability to send a man to hell either. God is rendered powerless by such a doctrine, and a powerless god is no god at all! The God of the bible is powerful and has every right over His creation. He may send whomever He wishes to heaven or hell. Those that go to heaven; are deserving of hell but receive mercy and are filled with gratitude. Those that go to hell; go where they willingly wanted to be [namely, where God isn't] and receive their just punishment. All are hell-bound without the hand of God. All fall short.
