Why would a perfect being need/want to make an imperfect world with imperfect beings?
You have this individual who supposedly has no flaws at all, and he makes a flawed universe full of people who harm one another and who hate one another.
It doesn't make sense at all. Why would a perfect being make a imperfect world.
If your first answer was free will then if Free will is such a limiting factor on making a perfect creation why have it in the first place? It seems like that in itself is a mistake, intentionally making your creation with a huge limiting factor.
First, welcome to the forum.
The answer is free will. A world in which people freely choose to love God and desire a relationship with him is better than a world that does not. The key word in that sentence is love. There can be no love without free will.
