Why the argument that he gave us free will. Why would a loving God, an all knowing God create a world were we use free will to kill or live an altermitive life style (which I believe is genetic in most cases). Speaking of genetics, who chooses to be born deformed or disabled. Why does it have to be a mystery for we find an answer upon making it to heavan. Why do we have to go through despair to appreciate paradise...if he exist. I can assure you I appreciate my children without watching them suffer. Can God not use my method?

God could profit nothing by a human thought, because it is human misconceptions that must go out, which is the seeming human reality of all things. Human will hates God because it is threatened by divine law. Reverse the question to this, "what if God exists and mortals actually don't, then what is this that we seem to experience?" A false reality, a dream. God exists and in time we will all be very clear on this as our understanding increases.

No because only a free will being can truly love. To be able to love freely means also to have the freedom to NOT love.
We were created pure and granted free will. We chose to allow sin into the world and we have suffered the consequences of that choice ever since.
And as for your statement on (I assume) homosexuality being genetic, that could be, I am not disputing that. However, just because you have a genetic disposition for something does not mean you can act upon it with impunity. I have a genetic predisposition for heterosexuality, but I do not go around raping women, as an extreme example. Furthermore, if it is genetic, and since less than 5% of the population has it, and it runs contrary to the biological design, does that mean homosexuality would be considered a genetic disorder and the search for a cure would be a worthy cause? We search for ways to correct other birth defects like Spina Bifida, holes in the heart, scar tissue on the brain that causes sezuires, etc.

That God has tow willing the first is cosmic fatalism that everything is going as far as to humans from the disease throughout his life, health or disability and this incident has Consequent to test him if May will be patient or not to the extent God that if patience will be offset by the Supreme Committee, and the second well will cost as adaptive legitimate rights orders and certain costs and see what he do by a jaware of the result beforehand, but the evidence on the rights that this be done and that it was a choice to do what he has done and therefore go to Paradise or hell, because of what he did

Why do you have to pass your exams before you are promoted?
With regards to the abnormalities of life, it is also a test to you if you can accept least fortunate people and serve them or share with them your good fortune, which pleases God the most.
Regarding your method, do you mean to tell me, you are better and far superior than God, and His infinite wisdom?
If you can already control your own heartbeat at your own will, or can you stop the world from turning, or can you defy the law of gravity for 30 seconds at your own power or probably stop the flow of time even for a second and bring back literally yourself to your happiest moments, then there is no God. If you do not have a navel and if you never had your own mother, and you just popped out of the ground or a test tube at your own will,
then there is no God.
Excuse me, but you are just another passenger on planet Earth, and you cannot hijack this ship or defy your captain and tell Him to do, what you exactly want. to do or think.

Since God Is I AM that I AM Yahweh Elohim.
He thinks we are more interesting if He doesn't control all our choices. We will reap what we sow. We sow with our words, life or death.
Though some of our choices has made God cry. It is written that we aren't to grieve the Holy Spirit. For example, if we believe satans lies about ourselves, and get self destructive, that will grieve the Holy Spirit who has sealed us for the day of redemption.
Also, if a person is deformed or disabled, there is a root reason for it. Usually it is because of the sins (knowing or unknowing) of self, others, or environmental. Sometimes it is for God to do a miracle.

your method is awesome, but sadly because of the fall of Adam and Eve we go through all those thing and more. In all fairness some of our suffering is just a direct result of our bad choices and God can do nothing to help us if we do not first call on him.
But its ok because one day it will be like you said, a true paradise!

What if your children were programmed to love you like robots? Would their love for you still be the same?
We don't have to "find" an answer, God has placed in each man a desire to know Him and an innate knowledge of Him (like an adopted child searching for their biological parents). We either accept Him or reject Him, we know He's there.
And the alternative lifestyle being genetic doesn't pan out because "alternative" people don't pro-create.

It would be wonderful, but if god exists he's obviously not interested in individuals, only in large numbers. That's why he's letting babies die, people starve and get killed in wars, people die of diseases, because all this suffering will make the remaining people long for paradise.

the story had to be told in such a way in order to match the story to the obvious truth.
religion already knows the answer but has to create fake data so that the sum of that plus the real data = god.

satan messed this Place (Earth) up, AFTER Adam let him gain Authority to it.
WE were suppose to Rule and Reign for 6000 Years---With GODs Help, not satans.
When Adam sinned, (BIG Time Sin) he committed High Treason and changed Gods to satan.
That Effectively KICKED GOD out of HIS OWN CREATION, that HE made for US to be BLessed in.
GOD is Good.
satan is Very Very Evil and Wicked.
The Worst.
satan is an angel, NOT a Human Being.
A spiritual servant with a Lesser Free-Will than we have.
Hope this helps.
