On a simpler note, maybe you can explain why is God saving us from Himself? After all, according to your teaching, this is ALL His doing, including the evil and the sin, so why did He not simply make the world, discard the damned and kepe the elect and be done with it? What's the point?

You answered that question already in post 863 --

Kosta50: "As an Orthodox Christian, I would say that He is a Mystery and beyond our comprehension."

So it would seem you pick and choose the mystery of God to suit your assumptions.

What's the point?

The glory of God.
