Therefore, creation did not in any way depend on the incarnation of the Word (Logos) or on his redeeming death

Thank you for your response Thigh20. I shared your viewpoint for many years. Jesus was plan B. I no longer believe that view holds the explanatory power that satisfies the text, reason or exalts Christ above all things.

If you can allow (maybe even concede ) that God is omnitemporal, that may obviate the question (or questions)? It lets creation depend on God’s purpose for creating, and that necessarily includes our Lord’s incarnation and crucifixion… if you can allow (maybe even concede ) what that purpose is. Jesus was never in any temporal sense Plan B, but always exalted above all things, especially in a temporal sense.
