Tell me where I've gone wrong, because from what I understand:
-God wants us to be one way (good/perfect/loving/etc.)
-God doesn't want us to be another way (bad/sinful/evil)
-God gave us free will to choose
-God knew we were gonna sin, because God knows all
-God doesn't like us to sin (and might punish us for it?)
Now, here's my confusion: Why would God give us free will knowing we were gonna sin even though He dislikes it? Why would God create something, knowing the outcome would be something He doesn't like? Why would God create something He doesn't like or want?
To test us? ... but God already knows everything. Why test us when He knows everything, and the outcome? Why would God need anything if He's all-powerful and all-knowing? And, why send any one of His creations to hell for something He knew they'd eventually become/do. Why judge people for being a way He knew they'd be?
Can anyone make sense of this for mfe, please, please, PLEASE!
