In the sense that what God ordained happened, yes, it was good. God also ordained that He would sacrifice Himself on the cross, and so in the same sense, that was good. God could have ordered the universe in any way He chose, but He chose this one, for His own reasons. I believe this rather than believe that it was man who chose to kill God against His will. I don't give man that much "credit" in terms of ability.
God then decided to drown the wicked men, made wicked by His will, no doubt, according to your theology, and you call that "good?" ... A vengeful and angry God that drowns His own creation is kind? Especially, if we consider your theology to proclaim that even our wickedness is strict obedience to God's will?
Do you believe that the story of the flood is a fable? Or, do you believe that the flood happened, but God didn't cause it because that would make Him vengeful and angry? I believe that the flood actually did happen, that God directly caused it, and therefore, it was good and just.
Your example of saying "I do this out of love," and kissing your wife as you jump off a bridge is not what Christ did for us. Your jumping off a bridge, for her, would be related only if she was in mortal danger with no other way of being saved. Yes, then your sacrifice would be meaningful and would reflect your love for her -- and could not be considered a "suicide."
Yes, indeed. You are 100% right, here. In my example, it would have been suicide for me because it was unnecessary. Jo Kus said, in effect, that it was unnecessary that Christ die on the cross, (that He could have saved us in some other way), but that He did it anyway out of love for us. I was trying to show why I disagree with that. My point was that SINCE Christ did die on the cross, that it MUST have been necessary to save us.
It's irrelevant, because the biblical account of it has a message and that message says that God repented (KJV), or was "sorry" (NAS, NKJV), was "grieved" (NIV), that God "took it to heart" (LXX), that He had made people who "turned out" wicked! Surprise, surprise! According to you, they didn't turn out wicked by themselves, by rejecting God, but because God ordained it so!
If you believe that, then why was He angry with wicked men -- they turned out exactly as He ordianed them to be! Where is their fault? They are just passive "tools" and fools in your vision of God's creation.
[In addition to wicked men, Genesis 6:6 states that God decided to destroy all innocent animal life as well. I wouldn't call that kind.]
I believe this rather than believe that it was man who chose to kill God against His will
Man didn't "choose" to kill God. Christ's sacrifice was voluntary and out of love for the wicked mankind. Christ came to redeem what we spoiled, to heal what we wounded, to rebuild what we destroyed, to save what was lost through our rejection of God.
If it is none of our doing, if it it is not because of our digression against God's will, than Christ's sacrifice is not done for our fall but for His own sake and glory.
