God is omniscient
God knew that before he created man that they would eat of the tree of knowledge.
God placed the tree of knowledge in the Garden anyway.
God wanted sin to enter the world.
He knew what would happen. Why place the forbidden trees in the Garden in the first place?

Because it wanted to be worshipped.

Just because you know a child will make mistakes doesn't cause to you not want children. God loves us and wanted to make people in his image who will love him back.
As for placing the forbidden trees in the garden, God wanted to give us choice. If we were programmed to just say we loved God, that becomes artificial and God doesn't want to hear that from us. Love has to come from the heart and so God gave us the choice to obey or disobey; to love him or to reject him. Adam and Eve at that moment just chose to disobey God and therefore sin entered into the world.

Why would you think that. God might have known about the Devils plan, to deceive Adam and Eve , but He gave Adam a Choice by asking him, not to be feed the knowledge of the Devil. And Adam was not Deceived he knew better, on the other hand Eve was not told this by God , She was Deceived.

You should take this question to your pastor or preist. I beleive that some questions are meant for a conversation that I will have with my wonderful maker in heaven. There are so many different theories about what the bible means . No man really knows what GOD meant when he said or did things. The bible was wrote but man has been trying to understand and translate things for thousands of years. Over those many years ebrything has been changed and twisted around. No one really knows what the original scripts say or mean

All this questions of Why, why, why?
It is written, "thou should not attempt the Lord you God"
All God wanted from men was obedience, nothing else.
But still men did not listen, he was told not to.
God created the world because he saw the earth was empty, and he gave men ever lasting life, that was men choice, God did not send a men to be His puppet. But to rule over the earth and keep His commandment, but no, that was not enough for men that they them self have become imbeciles just like many question ask in this forum.

it extremely is the Christian god for you. Judaism has no such theory as unique Sin in any respect. Or absolutely everyone going to three everlasting burning hell to be tortured perpetually. Or absolutely everyone even going to heaven, for that celebrate. Or human blood sacrifices for sin both. Or something else that Christianity has and believes in. yet extremely suitable on your question is the actual incontrovertible truth that there is not any such element as unique Sin in Judaism. that is a theory completely made up by employing the Gentile Christian Church leaders, by employing employing perverted and twisted meanings to the tale of Adam and Eve contained in the Jewish Torah. So now you want to ask why did they do this? properly, in case you teach those who they're born filthy and sinful, and then you provide the in ordinary words potential accessible to keep the individuals from that situation, the position do the individuals ought to bypass to get kept from this situation? To you, obviously. even as bringing all their resources to you, and giving you total administration over their lives. See how that works? P.S. the authentic Jewish messiah has no longer something in any respect to do with absolutely everyone's salvation, nor does he die as a virgin human sacrifice, neither is he God. in truth the theory of absolutely everyone even wanting salvation, would not exist in Judaism. Wakey, wakey!

Because what he wanted man to become required risk. His foreknowledge of events does not change the need for certain events. Very simply, He is reproducing himself; the whole purpose of life is for us to become like our God. That's what the whole salvation process is about: God reproducing sons and daughters on the earth. It's all about "Free Will" and "Love" -- Adam and Eve were given the free will to make a choice, two options to exercise a choice with (The Tree of Life and The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil), and knowledge of what God wanted them to do -- choose life as a result of love for Him. Although he knew what their choice would be, He also used their choice to forward his plan for man, destroy his enemy and show just how good and loving He is in the rescue effort by giving the life of His only Son, Jesus.
You see, the type of love that God wanted developed in man couldn't be forced -- it had to be chosen by man, and there can't be a true choice if there are no options. If He had forced it, we would be like robots without the free will likeness of God. Now that we have seen just how loving God is by sacrificing His Son to rescue beings that virtually hated him and rejected him, we are moved to accept the payment of Jesus' life for our sins and enter into a relationship with God. You can't really tell what darkness is unless you compare it to the light, right? God allowed sin into the world, knowing that against the backdrop of Satanic darkness man would recognize just how good and loving God was and be drawn to Him. For those who question why He would allow this in creation, think about pregnancy: a woman who wants a child knows about the coming pain, yet her focus in on the end results of having a child, so she looks beyond the pain and focuses on the joy ahead. God is doing the exact same thing with mankind, risking the fact that many would choose death and sin and not fulfill their purpose for coming into being while mnay others would discover the truth, fall in love with Him, choose life with Him (despite what the world said about them) and enter into their purpose for existing at the end of their days -- to become children of God.

A better question... Was there an Adam and Eve? Or the powers to be needed a religion to control the masses?

Just like a child with an antfarm and a magnifying glass.
God wants us ants so he can watch us suffer and burn. Or that is how christianity portrays him.

To let mankind choose for themselves, he knew the outcome regardless.
