From atheism to Christianity? How so?

[RDK]

What I am saying is that we were designed to make a free choice, and God honored the choice and preplanned a redeemer to compensate.

I understand what you are saying. but freedom to choose cannot exist in a scenario where the outcome has already been predetermined. Did god prepare a redeemer in case humanity fell, or did he prepare a redeemer because he knew humanity would fall? Your prior comments imply the latter, hence my reasoning. If the fall of humanity was a foregone conclusion, then it had no choice in the matter, and thus no freedom to act.

Your interpretation of Genesis 6 is one of a few different possibilities. Some say the Sons of God were men and not angels.

Genesis 6 clearly differentiates between humans and "Sons of God." If they are not angels, then they would have to be some other species or a race of super-humans. The most reasonable explanation would be that it refers to angels, IMO.

If God knows the future then every action taken by men is also foreknown. What is prophecy anyway but God's affirmation to us that everything which could be known to happen will happen. If God gives us a sense of free will so that we ourselves can not tell the outcome of most things, God shows us that He has. Surely, when Peter denied Christ three times and was warned that he would, God was showing us that everything is foreknown. Even the actions of the crowd and the rooster crowing defined the future ahead of time.
What can all of this mean? Evil in this world is not an accidental occurence. We can see it for ourselves every single day somewhere around us. If evil is determined why is it here?
The rewards of this answer is greater than the sum of all suffering. God designed for us to fall so that He could show us the value of forgiveness. What good is it to have a perfect world where everyone gets along if the real question can be, God , how much can you really love us? Jesus instructs us to love those who hurt us and to foregive everyone for what they have done. If something could drive home the idea that God could love us, then loving us in spite of our sins is proof indeed. God would not send an advocate for problem humanity unless He first loved us. We are participants in a story where everyone plays a part, good and bad alike.
