Why would God?
RE: Why would God?
Quote:It says we are created in GODs image, so in his image we should be perfect. You keep saying that we are not, because of our free will to sin. "In gods image" seems he knew we would sin.

Being created in God's image is a spiritual reference. God is spirit so that eliminates any real physical comparison. God is a triune being God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, so is man, we are a physical being, we have consciousness, that is we are aware of ourselves and we have a soul or spirit which is the part of man that can identify with God.
Man was created perfect, it was man's decision to give up that perfection to acquire forbidden knowledge, a knowledge man did not need to live in a perfect state with God.
So he KNEW we would sin? Why would he bother creating us to let us suffer? Why word he let so many generations/people suffer? That seems far from love. People would not exist so we would not know of god, or suffering. It seem rather pointless to create an eternal sinful species, don't you think?

Quote:You need to remember you are asking questions that only study can answer not just a read though of the Bible.
Why didn't god make a study book?



Quote:After reading Eve "sinning" it seems like they didn't have free will till they ate the fruit and realized that they where naked. They gain knowledge and awareness, which seems like free will.

Quote:Choice is free will and they had the freedom to choose to disobey God or obey Him, they made a choice, a wrong one but nevertheless they chose.
As far as their nakedness, before they chose to sin they knew nothing of the evils that the knowledge would reveal they had obtained, they lived in innocence. Keep this in mind for a future question you will probably have about Paul and sin and grace.
So they did not know of evil before hand. They did not know that they where disobeying gods word. This means they did NOT that they were being bad/evil/sinful.


Quote:They will learn of good and evil, which is a choice from free will. They were doing what they were told, God told them not to eat the tree, but the serpent told Eve it was ok too, so she did.
So did god create the serpent? Did he make it evil?
Quote:God did not create evil, that would be against all that God is, as for the serpent, it was probably just a way of referring to Lucifer after his fall. Let me ask you a question please, what reason would God have to make evil, He knew the price His Son would pay because of evil?

Why would the all knowing god bother creating us knowing we would be evil? I'm not god, but it seems more like he got bored of peacefulness and decided to let lose sinful/evil human. Maybe he wants us to worship him because he got bored of simple minded animals that do what they want. Maybe he is not here anymore and went to another galaxy?
