Your flaw is in assuming God wouldn't create or form anything because, to you, somethings that knows everything and needs nothing wouldn't create anything. That a they flaw of your rationale. Don't bring others into the to back up your own flawed views. Theists have mothballs g to do with this conversation. You did happen to make one decent point and that is that God is not malevolent.
And yes, it can be long suffering for our sake. How could it not be? Unlike the rest of existence, most men don't follow the direction put forth by GOD and make their own path. God is long suffering for our sake because it is constantly giving us new opportunities based on our actions. So explain, if yo will, how a thing that is all powerful, and all knowing can't also be compassionate?
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
Free will is a illusion if god is all knowing. That being said giving god powers limits your own god. If you start giving your god which is not mine
i have nothing to do with it. Put it this way you set up so many paradoxes you say god is all knowing that would mean he knowingly created imperfect creations i.e. humans knowing we would fail.
All is predestined, and we also have free will which comes with responsibility and potential. Depending n how you look at it free will can be seen as a curse or a gift. God didn't set us up to fail. He set us up that we might, by his will, and our faith, eventually come together for our sake and the sake and prosperity of all.
Peace
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
