I am thinking that someone who denies Christ Jesus was God wrapped in flesh has a lot more problems than semantics.
God wanted children that He could communicate with and help assist! That was the sole purpose behind the creation of Adam and Eve. However, God did not anticipate that Satan would make sinners out of Adam and Eve, forcing the couple to leave the Garden of Eden!
Man didn't create God, rather God created man!
If man created God then man would have also created the Bible! Since the Bible is +40 books one can say that there should be some major flaws in the Bible since that would make the Bible a human creation. However, the Bible is flawless from Genesis to Revelation! The Bible exists b/c God used people to write and complete the Bible. Even the inevitable destruction at man's own hands is prophecized in the Bible in Revelation!

"God did not anticipate that Satan would make sinners out of Adam and Eve"
not in agreement with you there, Wilson0411, because God planned out the redemption of mankind before He created Adam and Eve.

God (THE Elohim of Gen.1:1) created That which He desired to Create for HIS PURPOSE. As The Creator, God had the authority to do such! We, as part of This Creation, can only seek, though Our choice, to find the answers to Our questions.
Above I mentioned, The Elohim. That is because in Genesis 1:1 it states: "Let US create." The Proper pronoun, US, is a plural pronoun, not a singular pronoun. Hence, US.
Remember what Jesus said on The Cross before His physical death? Give Me that which I had with You in The Begining. Hence, US!

Where in Scripture does it say > God planned out the redemption of mankind before He created Adam and Eve.
Yes, and because of God-given MFW/faith, souls are justly accountable for how they exercise it.
Do you agree?
1 Peter 1:18-20 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
The word "foundation" in 1 Peter 1:20 and Revelation 13:8 is translated from the Greek word katabolḗ ...
from HELPS Word-studies:
katabolḗ ("foundation-plan") typically relates to Christ's incarnation, i.e. coming to earth in the flesh to be our Redeemer. This divine plan was set and sealed (guaranteed) before creation (Heb 9:26; 1 Pet 1:20; Rev 13:8). In general, 2602 (katabolḗ) refers to the basis God has established, upon which all people can know Him.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years
The signs and seasons were laid out in the heavens before God created Adam and Eve (Gen 1:26-27). The signs and seasons refer to more than just winter, spring, summer, fall ...
Matthew 2:1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

NO....
We are saved by grace!
Grace is God's power to overcome our helpless state of weakness.
While we were being given the Gospel...
Grace takes the sin nature and suppresses it.
In that manner, our soul was made free from the tyranny of the flesh.
While in that state of enabling grace?
Our soul is truly made free to be as we choose to be.
We can still reject! Freely reject.
At that moment of enabling grace is when we are to choose -
Either for -or, against - the Lord!
That is a state of complete and pure accountability!
If you always wanted to believe?
You were (by grace) made free to believe!
You want to reject?
Can not say, "my flesh made me do it."
In that state of grace enabling, God provided the Word of God (to become our faith).
And when we believed, he grabbed us up and sealed us for forever!
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17
John MacArthur is a Calvinist, and that quote looks like he was simply citing how Arminians feel.
You posting that as the reply to my point (because of God-given MFW/faith,
souls are justly accountable for how they exercise it) is also confusing.
Him and I were big buddies for way too long!
I got a shiver when scrolling through the posts!
