..., which means that he *was* pulling strings and tampering with our will (otherwise, who knows, God forbid, maybe the Romans wouldn't have convicted and executed Jesus!), then why didn't He make it easy on everybody by pulling some strings right in the beginning, in the Garden of Eden?
I mean, didn't He know, even back then, that He will anyway end up forgiving the humans? Why drag it on for so long, involve Jesus, and all?

You seem to be confusing God knowledge that certain things would happen (such as the cricifixion of Christ) with his having caused them. As a parent, I know that if my children play on the expressway they will get injured. But I do not cause them to play there through that knowledge.

Could you try to rephrase your question in the simplest of terms possible? Other than using the "pulling the strings" lingo. Accurate answers will come out of simple straight forward direct questions. I'm ready to give an answer if you can re-phrase.

The Word of God says that His Ways are not our ways and our thoughts are not His thoughts. Who has the mind of God? No one. God is God and He has a purpose for everything that He has done and will continue to do. The Word of God also says that we are to occupy until He comes. That means that we are to do what is required of us until He comes again. Then, we can ask Him all the questions we want to. May God Bless U.
