Is God playing a game with himself, or is it man?

You've got me.
I don't see the logic in it either.

A Savior was necessary to SAVE God's creation, because God's creation turned from Him.

A Savior was necessary to change the course of mankind.
God has a hard time communicating with man.
The best way to get you to understand this is with your dog or cat who continues to do it on the rug. How do you communicate NOT TO DO IT ON THE RUG.
God is trying everything he can and the stink is getting to him.
Jesus was the Next to Last hope for mankind.
The LAST will be END OF TIMES and that one is a serious one.

Because the Christian theology required a role model that people believed in and as such they used Mithra as an example. It made migration to the new religion a lot easier.

God's creation was perfect in every way. A savior was needed to redeem fallen mankind.

God knew that Savior was needed when He let us to have a free will. It is His plan. Great plan by the way.

God's creation was perfect, all the way down to giving people our own free-will, to make our own choices, because He loved us, He gave us freedom. It's "WE" who are imperfect, we choose sin instead of doing what is right. We chose our own will, over God's Will, to do things "our" way, instead of His way, which He created from the beginning for us to be happy and enjoy life and live forever. He gave us everything we could ever possibly need or want, and the freedom to do as we pleased. We would have never even know what evil, or pain or sickness or death was.
Did you know that Adam and Eve didn't even know they were naked until they had eaten from the tree of knowledge of good & evil? When the Lord returned to them they hid themselves, when he asked why they were hiding, Adam said "I heard you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid" And God said, "Who told you, you were naked?"
then God asked him if he had eaten of the tree God commanded them not to. Adam automatically blamed Eve, "the woman you gave me, she gave it to me and I ate it" when God questioned Eve, she automatically blamed the devil for tempting her. God already told Adam that if he ate from it he would die, even after God told Himself told him not to eat,he ate it anyway. That's why we need a Saviour.
So because of it, God told Eve should bear children and give birth in great pain. That her desire would be for her husband and he would rule over her. And to Adam He said,"Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree which I commanded you saying "You must not eat of it", God told Adam that through painful toil/work and the sweat of your brow you shall work for the food you will eat until you return to the ground. And since it was out of the dust that you were taken from, to the dust you shall return.
Without a Saviour, we would NEVER be reconciled with God.

The only reason for saving something is because you screwed up, or things were beyond your control.
Either way, it doesn't say much for "god".

Free will - starting with Adam - made us imperfect. God realized he was much too harsh sometimes, so he gave up Jesus for the second chance.

That was not his role.....to make creation perfect. His role was to justify mankind.
