If God is all-knowing, how could he be disappointed in His creation?

Question

Indeed, wouldn't God know that before the creation of our Universe what creatures would disappoint him? That being the case why create those creatures at all? Also, in knowing absolutely the behavior of humans before creation, God cannot be disappointed either... for this world is exactly as he has planned it to be. If it's not, why create us at all?

Answer 1

If you are a parent you woudl know this. We all disappoint our parents when we are bad and we all did something wrong sometime or another. But the love for our kids is more than just saying I know that they will disappoint me now and then, so I'll continue to have kids and bring up this family. That's what GOD did with you and the rest of us even though we do things wrong HE still loves us very much and continues to thrive on that love. When we do the right thing and show HIM our love for HIM it's just like when your kids do the right thing and they show you their love for you. Don't you just get the biggest thrill in your life to feel that they are trying to do things correctly and love you because you did all you could for them as children. Well GOD does that for us still doing all HE can for us but still letting us make our own choices because of HIS love for us. If HE made us robots then the love returned to HIM wouldn't be real now would it. So HE lets us make the same mistakes over and over and still loves us no matter what. That's why HE even sent HIS own SON down to earth to die for those sins we constantly commit. To pay for our sins, by doing this we have a chance to meet HIM face to face when we die. Without that we would die without HIM. You might want to find out just how much does GOD do for you and how HE constantly shows you HIS love for you. Go read the Bible or talk to someone who knows the joy of having GOD as his heavenly father.

Answer 2

Stop being so logical.

What are you trying to do, make people actually think about some of the nonsense they have been told?

They can't do that, if they did pretty soon they would realize that God loves everybody equally.

Then whom would they have to be better than?

Get a grip on yourself man?

Seriously with a mind like that you should be studying the course in miracles.

It is the antidote for all the nonsense that has ever been made up about God.

I thought I was an atheist till I found the book.

I realized that the only thing I really did not believe in was the nonsensical idea about God I had been given by organized religion. The real God was still there patiently waiting for me to notice her/him.

Try it you may be in for a surprise.

It wasn't until the invention of the printing press that non-spiritual people realized that God loved his creations. Some Chistian churches are a bit more in tune with this love than others, perhaps because they have embraced John 3:16 "For God so loved the World..." On your spiritual Journey do not miss out on discovering Jesus for yourself. He was and is a wonderful guide into logic and moral behaviors that we can adopt and use. Everything he teaches is workable and very rewarding.

Answer 4

Well, he seems to have been disappointed in Adam and Eve when they ate the forbidden fruit. I think God know everything that is or ever was, and since he knows everyone very well, he also has a pretty good sense of what will be. Because people have free will, however, he can't know for sure what people will choose to do. Thus, he can always hope they'll repent, do good, etc. and then be disappointed. 'C'mon gdb2001,' he might say to me, 'I honestly thought you would do better than that; I know you can. I'm disappointed in you.'

Answer 5

He cannot be disappointed in His creations. God created things for a purpose unknown to us but to God only. Trust in God for He is the Almighty, All-Knowing, The Just.

Answer 6

God is not disappointed in human kind or his creation where in the world did you get that idea? He created us and when the first sin he excepted us to be human and do what we do. It might hurt when we do the stuff we do, but never disappointed in what he created!!

Answer 7

God does not make mistakes! He is a perfect God. Why would you think that he made creatures that disappointed him? He made every living and breathing thing for a reason. I believe that God makes things for us to learn from. Are we learning? I know when I get to the pearly gates, I have lots of questions for him too!

Answer 8

God gives us this life with a choice. To love Him, or to not. It was God's plan all along to give us this choice, that is the purpose of the choice Adam made in the garden of Eden. People ask all the time, why did God just stop sin before it started and avoid all the hassle? We could've just been in communication with Him since the beginning, and never been separated from Him. But He didn't want mindless drones created to love Him, He wanted us to come to Him willingly, He wanted us to make the choice because that kind of love is real.

So, the option is to spend the rest of your eternity with the One you love, or, I believe that if you choose to not allow God in, He is polite and will kindly oblige and step back, and you will spend eternity without God.

Answer 9

Perhaps these erroneous arguments will expose the error of your supposition:

1) You can lift a 500 lb dumbell; therefore everything that weighs 500 lbs or less you will lift.

2) You can eat, therefore you will eat everything.

3) You can run, therefore you will always run.

Did you get the point? Have you ever heard of the word CHOICE? You have the power of choice, so why wouldn't your CREATOR?

Answer 10

god was never disappointed in his creation because his creation was good and of god until man in the flesh disobeyed god which caused the world to become sinful.
