That's odd, considering that he planted the tree and put the serpent there.

God allowed for the possibility of sin without "devising" it.

Then why did he allow it in the first place?

To help achieve His ultimate goal; the Glorification of Himself.

Possibility? Was God taking a "chance" or was he certain? If he devised the "Fix" from the beginning, it seems he devised the Fall as well.

[God allowed it] To help achieve His ultimate goal;

God needed sin to "help" [sic] him achieve his ultimate goal? And he was leaving that to a "possibility?"

[the goal being] the Glorification of Himself

God has "goals" and he needed sin to be able to glorify himself?
