Spins thread and what it has morphed into regarding the sin and will of Adam has led me to ask the above question. Seems pertinent with Easter right around the corner.
This is mainly for those who are Christians. Non-Christians are free to participate, but I would ask that you contribute with the mindset that, according to Christian teaching, such and such is true or not true.
The question is simple, but I'll flesh it out a little more here. Was Jesus coming to earth in flesh and dying for our sins plan B? Could an omnipotent and omniscient God set up creation to run a certain way and then have to alter his plans according to the actions of his creatures? How does the way you answer this question affect your belief about foreknowledge, predestination, determinism, and the like.
I'm truly interested to hear what y'all have to say.
