first the Adam & Eve thing went wrong.
then the whole Noah's Ark flooding era to wipe out the bad ones.
and then Jesus dying for our sins thing.
and today, the world is still in a mess.
God's track record is not looking too good based on these findings, don't you think?

you must understand that god is inside you and inside me and inside every person. god is not sitting on a cloud in heaven.
so only if all persons - like you and me - on the whole world would help each other then god will arise to his true power and glory.
so keep on helping him. you cannot wait for him. god can only be strong if you are strong. and yes, that is his game, he is always checking us again and again.
the world is not a mess because of god but because of the people - from all sides of the globe.
but the world is not a mess, if you do a little go(o)d thing every day. then your little world is fine, and god smiles at you.

God did get it right. It is man that cannot seem to get it right. God made us individuals with a mind to think and he gave us freedom to make our own choices. It is the choices that we have made and continue to make that are wrong. For this reason these things have happened. If God had made us only able to do what is right and not susceptible to temptation then what would be the value in leading a righteous life? Everyone would be doing the same. We would be like a bunch of dolls, inanimate objects only able to do what our creator allowed us to do. There is no value or virtue in that.

If you read the Bible, Adam and Eve were Decieved by the Serpant, Noah's Situation was God's Rath on Humanity for not obeying his Commandments, God Sent Jesus to Die on the Cross for our sin because It was His Plan. Today Satin has Control of the Air adn over the Countries and WE have the power (believers) to Bind Satin in all he does. What we Bind on earth will be Bound in Heaven, What we Loose on earth will be Lossed in Heaven. When Jesus Died on the Cross he Gave us Authority over Satin. God Has a Perfect Plan and one day Every knee will bow and every tounge will confess
God Bless and have a great day

God could have created robots.
Instead He created people and gave them freedom to choose.
He knew that humans would mess everything up.
He provided the only Way available for people to get out of that situation; viz., Salvation
He is long-suffering, still waiting.
People insisted "we want to do it OUR way".
He will intervene at the last moment, just before humanity would totally destroy the earth.
I'd say it is humanity that hasn't had "too good a track record".

Don't forget Sodom & Gomorah!
I've seen a lot of answers here that 'humans' get it wrong (eyeroll)
Isn't God supposed to have seen 'that it was good' after he made the humans? Would He think that if He was omniscient? Also, does it matter if we have 'free will' if He's supposedly all-knowing?
A deity (making it single and faultless was stupid reasoning to begin with) who's been made up by some wandering desert guy who needs attention and money is hardly reliable.

You've got it all wrong honey.....It's man who's got it all wrong..
And thank God for his grace and mercy or we wouldn't have a chance. Hey, and the Noah thing actually went over pretty well, he's the only one that listened and got to live....You must have a little more faith in God. He loves us and continues to forgive us even though we make mistake after mistake.
God's track record has been to the letter, just has he promised, it's man's track record that stinks. Ofcourse he knew that too, that's why he sent our saviour...His only begotten son to save us.
That's all....Have a nice day. ! ! ! !

Have you ever prayed? If so, while in prayer, have you ever mentioned to God how you perceive him, and then asked him if your perception of him was correct? And, have you sat in judgment of him while in prayer?
If you would like to know what is the work of people and what is the work of God and what is the work of God's enemy, you can find out. Instead of assuming you already know and then sitting in judgment of the only competent judge there is, you can go to God and ask him to teach you who he is. If you seek him in earnestness and humility, he will teach you if it suits his good purposes to do so.
A better question to ask yourself is, "Why can't I get it right?" If you spend a little time looking at your own life, what you're capable of and what you're not, e.g., then you come to realize that you are not a competent judge of the creator of all that is good. This was my experience, in any event.

We are all given free will to choose. Those are stories in the Bible. Did they actually happen or are they stories made up to teach a lesson?Man wrote the Bible not God.The only one that can be confirmed is Jesus dying and that one is important.

I would say that man's track record is not looking too good. Everything you said happenned because of man, God gave us free will and we make bad choices.

God can't get it right because God doesn't exist. The bible says that man was created in God's image but I believe that man created God in his own image.
