Adam and Eve didn't need Jesus before the fall. They walked and talked with God in the flesh (so to speak).
Given infinite time, then anything that is possible will occur. The Fall was possible. Thus, it did, of necessity, occur. Chronologically, at that moment, no. Adam and Eve did not need Jesus. But in the sense that the Fall was necessary (that is, necessary insofar as it was possible, and infinite time was given), they needed Jesus from the moment they were created. The world in which they were born into was a world that would need Jesus of necessity, just as the Fall happened of necessity.
of God's attributes drive His will. How can you state otherwise? Can you provide even one reference that shows otherwise? God cannot look at sin with the least degree of allowance because of his holiness and righteousness. That is exactly why there is an eternal punishment for those who have not been covered in the blood of Jesus.
I can state otherwise very easily: it is based upon definitions.
Passions drive my action. One of these passions is hunger. If I am hungry (that is, if I am driven by my passion of hunger), then I act accordingly. Now, my passions are contained wholly within my brain. However, my status of 'having a brain' does not drive my action. To be sure, my status of 'having a brain' is absolutely necessary to have the passion of hunger, but my status of 'having a brain' is only a status. Not a passion.
Some of God's attributes are statuses. Some of them are passions. Love is a passion.
It is terribly difficult, however, to determine which are passions and which are statuses, and there are, perhaps, some that qualify under both categories.
You are picking and choosing attributes to create the God you want to believe in. You can try to do that all you want, but it doesn't change God's true nature. The one spelled out for us all through the Bible.
I am doing no such thing. God is not built from Legos.
The scriptures are full of the admonition that only those who believe in Christ and accept Him as their savior are covered under the atonement. Salvation is by faith. If you do not believe and have faith, you are not saved.
How is this relevant?
