Understanding 2 Peter 3:5

[Van]

Before the foundation of the κόσμου [kosmos, world, system as translated by scripture4all implying order, configuration as translated by Westcott and Hort implying order in order for the Son of God to be manifested as the Son of Man to destroy the devil and his works would it require the creation of man in the image of his creator yet subject to, the death, brought fourth by the sin?

Did the devil and his works need to be destroyed before man was created?

I have no idea why anyone would claim the devil was "destroyed" before humans were created. Talk about ignoring scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

As for the "down casting" of the "Kosmos" (humanity) we can read about it in Genesis. Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden due to the consequence of sin.

I never said the devil was destroyed before Adam was created.

I asked if the devil had done devilish works before Adam was created. Works worthy of needing destruction? Why was the earth without form and void with darkness upon the face of the deep in Genesis 1:2? Do you believe God created the earth without form and void in darkness of deep, waters?

Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

That in bold is the exact opposite of what Gen 1:2 says the created earth was like when God spoke out of darkness light to shine.
