The Angels were created also perfect, without sin

Perfect beings don't fall. Certainly Jesus did not appear wondering if he was going to fail! Your way of thinking leaves God in the dark.

Me: Nope. That would make Him imperfect. There was no possibility for Christ to sin. His two wills are in perfect harmony

You: Well, according to your own Church, you are a heretic, denying the pronouncement of 6th major ecumenical Council...The Council's Pronouncement "Christ had two natures with two activities: as God working miracles...; as Man, performing the ordinary acts of daily life. Each nature exercises its own free will."(emphasis added)..."

The only problem is you added emphases in the wrong place. Had you read beyond the buzz words you were cherry-picking, you'd have noticed the following:

As I said before, Christ's two wills are in perfect harmony; there is no possibility that one would opose the other. Otherwise he would not have been neiyther perfect god, not perfect Man.

I am sure that God knew that Adam would fail as much as he knew that Jesus would not reject the Cross. Are you suggesting Christ lived in the dark as to the outcome?

So much heat on all sides based mostly on . . . conjecture, inference, assumption, extrapolation . . . sigh.
