God's Freedom

Adam was not given a "choice", He could not "forbid" the existence of each tree, the serpent, the devil, the consequence, the Eve; If Adam had a "choice" he could have told God I want to be an elect angel instead of a human, and I don't want there to be any such trees in existence, and like you I don't want to even need food, nor make any such serpents, nor make an angels that will fall, namely Satan, nor allow serpents to be possessed by Satan, nor make Eve to confuse the situation by her attention to the serpent's lie; None of the elect angels were placed in this providence, but Adam was and he was not given a choice about that providence. God made Adam upright, but He did not make him immutable, and Adam did not have a choice about being made mutable. Just as Joseph's brother's meant it for evil, but God for good. God had redemption and His glory in view during the Fall, and His motive pure and Holy, whereas Adam's motive during the Fall, was rebellious, impure, and evil. God was free to make fruit that God could eat if He wanted to and forbid Adam if He wanted to, God is free to set a command and "choice" for Adam, that God himself is not required to follow. A police officer can drive 90 mph due to his office and yet I not be given that same freedom. The officer is granted choices, that the citizen is not given. God is a law unto Himself, He is not under some external law whereby men vainly attempt to judge him.
