It's very apt in describing the aspect of the Fall I wanted to illustrate; that God the Father told man the rule he had to obey in order to not incur retribution. The example did not intend to illustrate all aspects of God's character, just the aspect of the complete justice of the follow-through to what he told Adam & Even. They blew it...not Him. Just as the son in my illustration blew it. It doesn't mean the father was unloving or a "monster". On the contrary, he had given almost complete freedom with only one rule. The one rule was intended to show that He was God, not them.
He is responsible because He is absolutely sovereign.
God's sovereignty does not negate the fact that man is responsible for things...like his own sin for example.
I reiterate a point I made earlier...when you stand before God on judgment day you will not be justified in saying "my sin is your fault".
I won't. Then again, I'm not a Calvinist. I believe God has given me what I need. If I choose differently, it is surely my fault.
On the other hand, if I believe God has rigged the game so there is no way I can do anything other than sin, since he has not graced me, then I could indeed disclaim responsiblilty.
Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim.
