Yo keep referring to the OT. Is that because you won't accept what the New says about God walking among us as Jesus?1 Adam 12. See the man.
The God of the Bible is that man’s God.

So,you don't drive a car?That but what you built from the ground up?I do. (It‘s not a GM though. It’s an Alfa Romeo Spider.)

I do. (It‘s not a GM though. It’s an Alfa Romeo Spider.)
What you need to build is a false premise.
Then you can pretend you need to build whatever you ‘want.’
The premise is real. The car is sitting in my garage as we speak. I’m not able to drive it until I have all of the parts needed to finish the job.
I’m not pretending to build anything.
Absolutely you are. You built a need, where none exists.
O ye of little taste!I do. (It‘s not a GM though. It’s an Alfa Romeo Spider.)
O ye of little taste!
No God, no plan. No man, no plan.
God exists, man exists, plan exists.
Jesus was God, The Word made flesh.
This much is true, because where you have the One, you have the other.
Yet for that One, there is no "need" for the other. The other just "is" because the One is.
The story is told, but folks don't recognize it for what it is-- mostly because they've been taught something else. They neither see, nor understand. It's a bit like this car project of yours. Once you decide to build it, it can become a personal possession, and then a personal obsession, and at some point it can even possess you.
That's the story. Make no copies. Have no idols.
Thou shalt have no other elohim before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Jehovah thy elohim am a jealous El.
In the beginning, elohim made the heavens and the earth.
And elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness....
They didn't need to.
They wanted to.
There’s no need for me to repeat what you already know concerning the state of our agreement.
There's not even a need for you to say that.
I see a lot of posturing from you and a good amount of stubborn obstinance to support your premise…
… but no scripture....?
What support do you offer for your theological notion that God needs man?
The world is mine and the fulness thereof. (Ps 50)
Neither is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, seeing, He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. (Acts 17)
What you should see is a person who is wrestling with the issue of why God allows evil.
Scripture is provided sporadically, by myself and others.
God created the heavens and the earth. (Scripture.) What need was there for him to do that? You say none. I say God has a plan and makes what he needs in order to bring it to fruition.
I’ve been reasoning about it throughout the thread.
God doesn’t need for man to exist in order for man to worship him?
