It bothers me, too, when people toss around careless words about things as important as <strong>the reason for Christ's incarnation</strong>. I mean, honestly, is there anything more important to understand in all of Christianity? If you don't understand why Jesus had to be incarnated and do what he did, then... you don't understand much <em>at all</em> about Christianity. That is <strong>the</strong> fundamental point that everyone - even non-Christians - should know about Christianity, if they know anything. So, making careless misstatements about such topics borders on gross negligence on the part of anyone who puts themselves forth as an authority on or teacher of Christianity. You have every right, if not a duty, to point it out. Well done. I appreciate you "nitpicking."

The Incarnation is God pursuing His beloved. It wasn't so we could be with Him - But - So He could be with us. Not that we are better then He, that He needs us. It is that He loves us so much, He would do anything to win our hearts, even give His life to prove it. Just a thought. Here's another idea.
