The point of God not knowing where Adam was is, of course none other but to explain to us that God did not program Adam to hide.

I think it means more than that, but what you say IS consistent with the passage. The act of attempted hiding from God is itself sin, and God does not program anyone to commit sin. Gen. 3:8-10 also shows us that shame comes from sin, and that it is futile to try to hide from God.

Then to sin is our choice. And to repent isn't?

According to Protestant theology, repentance is God-given. That means Adam did not repent because God didn't want him to repent.

In other words, God is behind Adam's pride. Don't you see, FK, this theology puts the blame on God and not on man?
