Would a perfect being be able to feel negative qualities? If God swore he was perfect, but nothing he did ever came out right...would you be able to see it, or would you close your eyes? No one seems to want to admit this world is simple. Everything around us is imaginary. Nothing will last, nothing will be forever.

As most state God hates sin. How can God be all loving and all goodness, and possess hatred? That is not perfect, that is human.

If you really loved someone and saw them destroying themselves, wouldn't you "hate" what they were doing or "hate" the object they were using to destroy themself. Or if you had a child whom you dearly loved, wouldn't you have negative feelings if someone brutally totured and murdered that child? I think we would all "hate" what happened. A negative feeling of hate in these situations is therefore justified, good, and healthy for a normal functioning society. You see, God's love is so amazing that He hates sin and its effects because it mars, distorts and destroys His creation. God can therefore hate as when he hated sin so much as to take its penalty away once for all on the cross through Jesus Christ.

God is perfect, what we do on earth doesn't affect him. Things are turning out right. He gave us the opportunity to evolve and not
depend on him for our survival. He is teaching us that we can't maintain the Earth without depending on him. He could destroy us anytime he wanted and make another Creation. When we chose (in the Garden) to become thinkers, to become different from the other animals, he told us we would run into pain and sorrow because we need him to maintain a perfect world.
I agree, nothing is real, God is The Real. He is outside this existence he's made for us. He gave us free will. But he is watching. And bad people are punished and good people are tested.

If he feels it is against him, the he must be more paranoid that I'd imagined. If God chose to create us as imperfect beings, and then didn't like the fact, couldn't he just fix the mistake and be done with it? Why go through the whole song and dance at all? Why not just create perfect beings and let them be perfect instead of saddling them with all manner of suffering and horrors out of nothing but spite?

God does not know hate. God is the most loving soul there is. The purest of all. Christianity has emphasized negative qualities in God. This is affecting our relationship with Him. God is a soul. So, are you. Feelings is the language of souls.
Nothing lasts for ever but...it does. Every second is fixed in time. Time is repetitive and predestined. The truth is in the Paradox.
We go from being to becoming.. we are always becoming. Souls are imperishable. Please read this site if you want to explore God

This is why God sent his son, my brother. So that mercy may be born. Because until God became human, he had no concept of temptation, sin, hatred, or anything else. Until Satan tempted Jesus--man and God--God had no idea what it was like to be tempted. He had to become bound by the laws of the flesh to understand what it was like to be bound by the laws of the flesh. DUH.
God doesn't swear. And so it follows that he doesn't swear he is perfect. He doesn't testify on his own behalf on anything. He is God. DUH.
Everything that God did, did come out right. We just don't get to understand it, our being not God and all. DUH.
This world is fairly simple, you're right. It is a simple battleground for human souls.
And you are also right that everything around us will not last forever. Everything that is outside of us--beyond our understanding--is that which will last forever.
Get acquainted.

since when does perfection mean no negative feelings?
Since when is hate exclusively a negative emotion.
Do you hate it that children are murdered? God does.
Do you hate it when politicians lie and get away with it? God does.
Some hatred is bad, God does not hate in this manner.

Please tell me where in the bible (Christian in my case) where it states that God hates?
Maybe you should read more and wallow less.
