but you dont see my point. if god wanted a perfect world why give us those choices? why create evil? why make us grow the land? its good he gave choicess but why the chance in this area to make the wrong ones? we could have all been his true followers.

The reason God made the world was to glorify him. If everyone robotically had to do the right thing how would that glorify him? For example, if someone wanted to be a great leader and made a bunch of robots that had no choice but to follow him and do exactly as he or she said would that demonstrate what a great leader the person was? Could you count the robots as "true followers"?? No, of course not. Evil is not of God, evil is of man. God gave Adam and Eve a choice, be content w/ what I've given you and be content or disobey me and eat from the tree I've told you not to eat from. Adam and Eve chose to disobey, so they had to be punished. There punishment was to have to work the land and be cast out of the perfect beautiful garden, but that wasn't enough. They also had to die and go to hell because they had commited treason against the all powerful God of the universe. However, God loved us so much that he sent his one and only son to die for us so that whoever believes in him can have everlasting life in heaven (John 3:16). I hope you may reconsider your choice to reject God!

God could have made us all followers and we all would worship Him, but who would want little follower robots around? He wants us to follow Him and worship Him because we love Him and we want to, not because we have to.
In all of the decisions we make, if we would talk with Him about them, we would make the right ones, but we don't. We go on our own way and get ourselves into trouble. If we would just go to Him we would not get into so much trouble.
The whole idea is to love Him as our Perfect Father, ask Him for all we need and He loves to supply for us. He wants to bless and love us, He wants to guide us, and be with us. But He gives us all choices and freedom to choose whether we want Him or not.

Choice = Freedom
No Choices = Slavery
God only has Sons and Daughters NOT slaves without freedom
God knows mankind needs to be a part of things and needs activity to thrive.

What He wanted was for mankind to depend upon Him for all their needs --- and be in obedience..... and worship Him freely.... why can't we are be like Enoch who pleased God and he had great faith --- (there were lots of things around then to tempt Enoch but he choose to walk with God) --- we can make that same choice by relying upon God to strengthen us each day to do all that He requires.... so often we want to do our own thing because it seems easier at the time----
