So if God knew "Adam would fall" if tempted, why did God present Adam with the 'opportunity to sin'? If love does not require a decision/choice by the object of ones love, why not eliminate the possibility of rejection by not providing the opportunity to 'fall'? Couldn't God have merely eliminated the possibility of Adam's 'fall'? If so, why didn't He?

I could have sworn that was my question to you..:>)

He allowed Adam to do as He willed. Just as He lets you do as you will. The question is never one of will ,it is always one why man wills the way he does. God chose to allow Adam to do as he willed without intervention .
