. My answer includes that, but doesn't stop there. Not only to glorify God, but to provide Him with beings who love him of their own decision, to provide companionship.

God is Love. The Triune God was not ever "alone".He is all in all!

He had already created angels that could offer love and companionship IF that was what he wanted.....

Why did God make man?

You could say the same thing about glorification, can't you?

Nothing like a needy God, huh! I see the Arminian gospel of the friendship of God is getting a good preachin today.

I know the Calvinist answer is so He could predestine the majority to eternal torment. Isn't that right? At least they always say what He predestined is according to His eternal purpose. Since the majority of people are predestined for hell, we must assume that was His purpose in creating the majority of the people.
