God knew adam and eve would eat the fruit before he made them.
Absolutely.
God created man in his own image. This includes free will.
God knew from the beginning that man would sin but he also knew he had a plan of salvation through his son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Here’s the part I find fascinating: If they had not sinned, man would have no knowledge of good and evil. I wonder if that would have left us like the squid creatures in Galaxy Quest. Or, more down to earth, if it would have made us more like the animals.
i.e. in the end, will our condition, after our resurrection, be BETTER than it would have been had they not sinned?
I’m just asking for discussion’s sake. I’m not trying to start a new theology. :)
