"unpalatable"

Why?? I don't understand why you think what I said was unpalatable.

God did not create us to be robots. When He created Adam, I have always personally believed He already knew what Adam would do; even though God did ask Adam - what have you done, this is just what all parents do when they ask their children what they have done, already knowing what the child has done.

We are not robots, we have been given free will - which means God decided it was going to be our choice to NOT CHOOSE HIM! He wanted us to love Him by our own free will - not because He required it, and not just because He loved us.

But ... He loved us so much He planned for our salvation - from being eternally separated from Him. He did it for ALL HUMANITY - however, not all will choose to take advantage of His Gift of eternal life. He wants all of us to choose Him, but He already knows some will not.

So then God predestined the fall right?

Your concern seems to be making sure you had something to do with salvation. Why is the idea that you didn't, that it was all God's work and is all to God's glory, such a threat?
