God gave us our agency and will always respect our freedom to make choices. While we are “accountable” for our choices (Doctrine and Covenants 101:78) and there will always be consequences for those choices both good and bad, God has never approved of using force. In fact, God fosters the spirit of freedom and He knows that the human spirit requires freedom to effectively serve and believe in Him. He told Adam and Eve not to eat the forbidden fruit, but He also said, “nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself.” (Moses 3:17)
