Credo 14: … true God from true God …
From the time man followed the words of the devil he began to waste away. The very reflection of the Word Himself was disappearing. God’s work was being undone. God needed to do something. It was not in the nature of God to leave man to perish. To leave man to perish would have been unfitting of God, who is all good. So he had to do something. In the word of a brother of mine it must have been all very exciting, at least, I think so. Any way, God had to do something, and in his infinite wisdom he did. To recreate the now corruptable man, he sent the incorruptable, incorporal, immaterial Word to redeem man. God solved the problem. Oh how great God is. This Word which entered history in flesh and blood was and is God. Hence the reason we say true God from true God.
This Word is Jesus.

Are you saying that if Adam did not sin, God would not have sent us His only Son?
