>>If God could have chosen one born and made them sinless He wouldn’t have needed Jesus’ sacrifice<<
Are you saying God couldn’t?
God is limitless. He can do anything.
God won’t violate His own precepts. He told Adam the penalty for sin was death, He’s not going to magically say some are sinners, some aren’t, else Christ’s death wouldn’t have been necessary.

I think COULD is a poor choice of words . . .
He DID NOT. SCRIPTURE IS CLEAR THAT HE DID NOT.
HE CHOSE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
HE SET HIM ABOVE ALL. WITHOUT HIM WAS NOTHING MADE. BEFORE HIM EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW.
One COULD get the hint that THE FATHER considers THE SON IMMEASUREABLY ABOVE ALL ELSE . . . INCLUDING MARY.
