    How can you love without someone to love? Would you want to sit around and love yourself only? Or does love naturally seek expression in loving others outside oneself?

    God is love, he HAS to love. He DESIRES to love. So he MUST make creatures to love, and he MUST give them CHOICE. God cannot deny himself.

    I agree with this. God chose to give us this choice.

    He could have created the 2/3 of Angels that didnot rebel to have someone to love.

    "The fall was part of God's plan" I would have to say I don't agree, although I will discount the possibility.

    "Anything short of that is an attack on His sovereignty". Now I REALLY disagree with this sentiment.

    I think we all agree that Jesus is as eternal as the Father, does this mean if a world were created which "would not fall" would this imply that Jesus would not exist as part of the Godhead?

    Are you married? Why did you get married? Why did you have children?

    Why didn't you just sit around and love yourself?

    Perfect love exists within the Trinity. God did not need us to have someone to love.

    Remember this, God chose to do this His way. If He wanted to, He could have chosen to not make any of us. He wants someone who willfully and knowingly chooses to love Him. W/O doing this, we would have no other choice than to love Him. It's part of His plan.
