If you know of a better way then share it please.Since God knows everything, and can do anything. Why didn't he simply create humans in the first place so they can only do good, so they didn't need teaching, and why didn't he make life fair, so no one suffers? And so he's actually just?
If you thought freedom had value then you needn't have said anything at all.

We'd both do moral things to save others. Reasons are a little different but the drive to do it is the same. We are more alike than unalike. We just have different views to where we get our morality. We get our morality from the same place, it's only our views that differ.

Apparently perfection can degrade with freedom. We degraded. God is still God.
