If god is perfect, and all love comes from god because god is love, then why did he create us?Why would a complete, eternally blessed, self-sufficient, being want to make something imperfect that it doesn't need? Is it because god, being love, desires to give? or is it because god is imperfect? or is god really e being, or something else?

i can see that nobody is going to give me a serious answer... i think that god made us because god, being love, desired only to give. i do not believe that he desires our love, that would be selfish, but he likes it when we love him back.

Fatherhood. He is the father of our spirits. To be perfect is to be complete. You can't be complete without being a parent. This is why the great gift He gave to Abraham was to be the father of nations.
His work and glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

Is God perfect? Or is it a sign of imperfection to desire relationship? Or a sign of some lack? Perhaps as beings created in God's image, our need for relationship and love is related to God's nature.

God is not fake and he will not make something that is not needed. We are here for a test of faith and there is a reason we are here. You shall not question God as God is only perfect. Also i know God is real because the bible is written over hundreds of years by a lot of people and doesnt condrict itself once now why would you question that because no one else has ever done that yet.

I am a believer so I will answer your question form what I believe to be true based in the Bible.
God created for the purpose of glorifying Himself through the manifestation of the unity of His attributes.
Why Did God Create Man?
God created man for the purpose using man to assist in the resolution of the spiritual battle known as the angelic conflict. The issues associated with the creation of man:
God created angels.
Lucifer sinned.
1/3 of the angels sinned.
God the Father offered the fallen angels redemption.
The fallen angels rejected the offer of redemption.
God the Father who is the Chief Justice in the Supreme Court of Heaven judged fallen angels.
The fallen angels were found guilty and sentenced to the lake of fire. Satan appealed his sentence.
God the Father planned human history to be the arena for the appeal trial of Satan.
Each dispensation of time represents a certain phase of the appeal trial of Satan.
God the Father planned for mankind to serve as witnesses for the prosecution.
The mechanics associated with human witnesses:
God created man lower than the angels.
Man was created with volition, that is, with the capacity to choose.
The issue associated with the mechanics:
If the lower creature, man, chooses God, the higher creature, Satan, could have chosen God, but didn't. Since the lower creature does choose for God, God is therefore justified in sentencing Satan and the fallen angels to the eternal lake of fire.
Point of doctrine:
God sends no one to the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the final destination of all creatures who reject the respective form of God's redemptive plan, whether that creature is an angel or a human being.

He made us very similar to him, so we needed to have free will. He knew free will would bring sin so he provided a saviour. We are like him in every way , except we have a physical body. He can not sin, if he made us unable to sin, we would have no free will. That is why we appear imperfect. God is spirit and we must retrace and attain the spirit.

God made man perfect - just as he wanted man to be. He also made man with freedom of will - and when man chose to disobey God - man lost the main connection he had with God - spirit. That's what Jesus Christ made available
The loving heart of God created man to worship, fellowship with and obey him. Now we have the opportunity to do just that - and we have the choice not to.
To love God is to keep his commandments - to obey his word. (I John 4&5)

If we knew how or why He did things that way, WE would be God. But we arent so we dont.
How come God is blamed for all the Evil in the world but never given credit for any of the good in the World.
Funny how when it comes to evil God is to blame but when it comes to good things God doesn't exist. Hmmm... how convenient

See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are! 1John 3:1 (NLT).
God wants a family, and he created you to be a part of it. this is God's second purpose for your life, which he planned before you were born. The entire Bible is the story of God building a family who will love him, honor him, and reign with him forever. It says,"His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure"(Ephesians 1:5 NLT)

God is selfish. Why do people have kids? For selfish reasons. "I want to raise a family" that is selfish. God is a selfish scientist who wanted to have kids. "to raise a family" People are imperfect because God gave His kids the gift of free will.

Great question, and my answer is, I DON"T KNOW. You're right, God is complete, eternally blessed, self-sufficient, and sovereign. He created us for His own glory, maybe that's all I'm supposed to know.
