Christ did not sin because he loved God with all his heart, mind and soul, and for no other reason, that is how he was able to redeem us.
Do you love your mother or father, your siblings or spouse (rhetorical), of course, even the heathens do, therefore, don't tell me that you're fallen.
Problem is, we don't love God in the same way, that's why we're guilty.

The Book of 1st Timothy chapter 4
1 Timothy
Theme
Paul writes to instruct Timothy concerning the care of the church at Ephesus.
Overview
This is the first of Paul’s epistles to the young pastor Timothy. In it, according to the King James Study Bible, he exhorts Timothy to guard against false doctrine, protect public worship, and develop mature leadership. Much of the epistle deals with the nature of pastoral conduct, including the qualifications of a bishop (pastor) as a true teacher of God’s Word. Practical directions for elders and for widows are also given in detail.
...A Good Servant of Christ Jesus
6 If you put these things before the brothers,[a] you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; 8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 9 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance. 10 For to this end we toil and strive,[b] because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
11 Command and teach these things.

You sound like an anti-christ, what the heck is a god-man?!
Are you unaware of the meaning of El in many people's names throughout the Bible? Are you unaware how the Davidic promise was finally fulfilled through Christ, especially after the Israelites have been abandoned for centuries. And you question what the expression 'God with us' means?
You haven't read your Old Testament, or you missed the overall principle i.e. favouritism then abandonment, then an anti-climatic return, then 400 years of silence, and the Israelites lament 'until when God will you let your people suffer'? You are unable to correlate 'God with us' with the plight of the Israelites? ...no, let's go with the god-man theory?

The Greek is no different than the English. Whosoever means whosoever -- anyone and everyone -- all without exception.
Strong's Concordance
pas: all, every
Original Word: πᾶς, πᾶσα, πᾶν
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: pas
Phonetic Spelling: (pas)
Definition: all, every
Usage: all, the whole, every kind of.
HELPS Word-studies
3956 pás – each, every; each "part(s) of a totality" (L & N, 1, 59.24).
3956 /pás ("each, every") means "all" in the sense of "each (every) part that applies." The emphasis of the total picture then is on "one piece at a time." 365 (ananeóō) then focuses on the part(s) making up the whole – viewing the whole in terms of the individual parts.
[When 3956 (pás) modifies a word with the definite article it has "extensive-intensive" force – and is straightforward intensive when the Greek definite article is lacking.]

It means all the believing ones, the ones who believe, everyone and all that believe, WHICH isn't a contradiction of election because they only will believe.
Salvation is of the Lord, repentance and faith is God's grant and gift, and those who believe will be saved, there is no contradiction, the bible teaches Calvinism.....everywhere.
Heres a song for the haters who rebel against God's word and need to repent of there sin:
