Do you think I have ever espoused another view than the one you are endorsing?
Where are you getting the idea that I hold to the view you are speaking against?
Why are you addressing these thoughts to me?
Do you think I believe anything other than what you just said?
If so - where are you getting these ideas about my beliefs?
I was replying to you, not claiming you personally hold such beliefs. My reply was addressed to you because you stated, "Many would maintain that God's disavowal of any complicity in the fall of mankind is just like "A" in your example." and that "God creating a new born innocent couple and placing them in a garden with the slickest trickster who ever lived; placing a tree there who's fruit would kill them - and letting things take their almost inevitable course is pretty much like "A" did." So my reply was to clarify that the situations are not equivalents, even if some people accuse God of such.
For example, here is John Calvin's view of the fall:
"When, therefore, they perish in their corruption, they but pay the penalties of that misery in which ADAM FELL BY THE PRDESTINATION OF GOD , and dragged his posterity headlong after him. Is he not, then, unjust who so cruelly deludes his creatures? Of course, I admit that in this miserable condition wherein men are now bound, all of Adam’s children have fallen BY GODS WILL. And this is what I said to begin with, that we must always at last return to the sole decision of God’s will, the cause of which is hidden in him." - John Calvin (Institutes)
Here John Calvin is wrong on multiple counts. For the first, God expressed his will clearly to Adam and Eve when He instructed them to not eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If He had instructed them to sin, that is, to not hit the target of His will (righteousness) - then God would have sinned in giving them an instruction to violate righteousness. Second, the fall is never blamed as 'God's will' in scripture, but rather on Eve being deceived (by Satan, not God) and Adam's willful disobedience. Third, God curses everyone involved in the act of disobedience: The man, the woman, and the snake. If it was His will that they disobey, He would have no just cause to punish them for they would have acted rightly. Fourth, God did not 'predestine' Adam to sin whether in the Biblical sense of marking boundaries out before hand or the popular misinterpretation of meticulous determined destiny. God created Adam "good." Adam did not have a fallen sin nature before he ate; there was no reason he could not obey all God's instructions. Fifth, God never wills that we sin. We may stumble and sin, but that is not God's will for us.
"
It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit." I Thess 4:3-8
How many believers live up to God's will with such perfect self-control and virtue? That doesn't mean that God's will is 'really' for us to fail or that He predestines us to failure.
Or a more general statement on the will of God:
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." Rom 12:2
Was Adam's fall good? No - he was cursed for it, tossed from the garden, and all his descendents have been born with corrupted sin natures do to his actions.
Was Adam's fall pleasing? No. It pleased God to provide a redeemer for Adam's fall, but that is not the same thing as death entering the world being 'pleasing.' We know death in the world is not pleasing as God created a plan before time to overcome it in a way that would also bring many sons to glory.
Was Adam's fall perfect? No - it was the opposite - a corruption of nature and man, not a refinement or completion. Jesus' perfection is contrasted with the imperfect Adam.
So even if some may claim that God predestined Adam's fall, or that God willed Adam's disobedience, or that God will's every sinful thought and action of man or constrains the abilities and choices of man so that there is only one true option for every choice - that doesn't make such claims true nor make them harmonize with scripture.
