Has God given up the right to punish through giving free will? If so, there is no hell.

It is said that God gave man free will.
This to me, means that God gave man dominion over himself and over the earth. Without any restrictions or coercion from Him.

The idea then that He would mean that we must do as He says or go to hell cannot be a true concept if the term free will is to mean anything.

If we as parents give or allow our children to have freedom when they leave our homes, then that means that we give up any right or responsibility to punish them.

To keep things simple, let us say that the rules of my home includes making the bed.
I notice when visiting my children in their home, that they have chosen not to make their beds.
I then would be out of line to reprimand or punish them for not making their beds. They are free to do so or not if they have free will.

This seems right. It is no longer my place as a father to punish them. They are free and have dominion over themselves.

God then should not and would not hold a hell over our heads to demand compliance to His rules.

Is free will with consequences from God, hell for non compliance, free will at all?
Is being free to only follow His rules free will?
Has God given up the right to punish free men?
Do we truly have dominion on earth?
