There is a difference between having by nature an intrinsic purpose, and purposing. I am talking about the former, and you are talking about the latterGod is His own purpose.
"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began" -- 2 Timothy 1:9

2 Tim 1:9 does not say that God *is* His own purpose. It says that God *did* something according to His own purpose.
