If god is perfect and he is knowing, he "is", then why did his greatest creation sin against him? He must of knew that this would happen.
I think i maybe missing some vital information.

God gave us free will to decide right from wrong. the devil started with Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of the tree that God told them not to eat. the devil also wants us to do the wrong things also. we don't know what kind of fruit that the eat. the bible does not say. the devil does not want us to worship God. when things go wrong the devil wants us to blame God

"What we have seen and [ourselves] heard we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have (which is a distinguishing mark of Christians) is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah."
(1 John 1:3, Amp)
Man is something really special. He is made in the image of God. He is made to have fellowship with God.
Some people get the idea that God made man so He'd have someone to dominate. But God is not a dominator. God is love and love needs to give to someone. That's why God made man. He made him so He could give him His love.
God could have given His love to the angels, and He did that. But giving to angels didn't provide total fulfillment. Why? Because angels aren't made in His image.
You're the same way. Let's say, for example, you have a puppy as a pet. You can fellowship with that little pet just so much, but then there comes a time when you need to talk to somebody. There comes a time when you need to have communication on your own level.
The reason you're like that is because you're created in the image of God. That's how He is. He has a desire to fellowship with someone like Himself.
Dare to believe you're something really special today--a one-of-a-kind creation made by God in His very own image. Dare to receive His love and dare to love Him back!
God bless you!

God knew we would sin against him when he created us. He went ahead anyway because to do otherwise would be a denial of the free-will he planned giving us.
Knowing we would sin, however, meant God could show us how much he loved us: he would send his son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us.
As St Thomas Aquinas wrote, "O happy fault,...which gained for us so great a Redeemer.'

God created man and gave us the power of free will. He showed us two paths (the right and the wrong)l. He also gave us the brain power to choose the right path. If we sin, it's not what God wanted, it's what Satan wanted us to do. We, by our own freewill, choose to follow Satan than God.

When God created man He knew that man would sin. The bible tells that "Jesus was slain for our sins before the foundation of the world" God created us anyway.
He wanted fellowship and this is why He created us. He knew we would sin but paid the price for that so we still could have dellowship with Him.
Nothing broken, nothing missing (a transaltion of 'shalom'), I call that real peace.

A Very interesting question. Remember God also created Angels and all the Heavenly bodies that we read of? The Angels also dissapointed him didn't they?? Lot of things we are not sure of and how it works. It is like to ask your kid brother in grade one to tell you how YOUR mind works? A lot, I believe, has also to do with the different dimensions and what we are are able to excess,see,live in and experience. Like men moved to another dimension after sin,to make them realized that they are naked.Just before Noah the Son of GOD (Angels) dwell upon the earth and took the earthling women as their wifes and had children. They were VISIBLE and in flesh? We do not see them now?
There are different heavenly species that was created by GOD and they gathered in MEETINGS together in heaven? Read that in Job also.There are different levels of HEAVEN? Did you read about the Highest Heaven?All interesting stuff?? I also wondered about this same question a lot,that GOD might not be "ALMIGHTY" and "KNOW it all". Why did he ask Adam and Eve where they were? HE should know that? Or was it to test them on their anwer? Why did HIS people had to be in the desert for 30 years to teach them a lesson? It didn't help. A lot of places in the Bible tells you that God was dissappointed in Earthlings,also did some of the great Prophets and leaders dissappoint GOD--read the history of Isreal and all the Kings. To give more understanding to the purpose of Jesus---God was talking and has been personally involved with Earthlings at times in the old testament. You don't read about HIS presence on Earth in the new Testament.He used Prophets? Whenever God punished,or promised something,HE NEVER went back on his word. It is very interesting to note that HE only adjusted some punishment or delayed it to a later stage,but HE never cancelled what HE spoke? And that is why Jesus had to come and take it on HIM ? The Bible tells us that the punishment for sin is death? And also because humans were not able to live up to expectations of GOD,Jesus had to die for our sins and maybe open up another dimension for the earthly creations to live in and grow in our spirital being to get closer to perfection and prepare us for "ONE" of the heavens where we will live after the comming/returning of our LORD Jesus Christ who deals with all these issues with God on our behalf?
Humans are part of God's creation,but surely not His GREATEST creation? Jesus was created by GOD?

God knew, when he created man, that some people would reject him. God created us with a free will. He wants us to love him, but he doesn't want to force us to love him. God must have thought it was worth it when he created us.
Remember, if someone rejects Christ and goes to hell, that's his decision. God went out of his way that we might have forgiveness of sins and a relationship with him. If we choose to reject his plan for salvation and eternal life, we must pay the consequences.

Humans were given free will and the temptations of Satan can be a very powerful thing. Remember it was the choice of a bad angel that set the apple rolling!

God created humans as his children, not his drones. Without the option of free will, love can not be given freely. God did not want robots. He knew what we would do, but created us in love so we could be with Him.

There is no such thing as 'sin' - made up by religions to get people to conform to their beliefs about what god is.
Evil and hell is the illusion that 'we' are separate from God.
We are the creator and the created!
GOD IS ALL THERE IS!
