why did god?

Question

why did god create the world impefect and full of evil while he could create a happy perfect place? why did he create us imperfect then judge us for what we did? It doesnt make sense.. He could create everything good and beautiful and we would all be happy. There s no need for all this evil vs good thing.. we wouldn't complaine if we were born in a perfect world. I don't think someone would say then "oh, i miss satan" or "if only there were some evil to spice it up a little" If heaven is said to be a beautiful place where there will be no evil, what's wrong with keeping it this way? and don't mention eve and the apple, like he didn't make her give him the apple, like he didn't know everything beforehand.

Answer 1

It was only an experiment, to create an interesting bunch of problems and a poorly equiped species to deal with them..Sort of a low tech game for the gods..batteries not included.

Answer 2

Excellent question. A beautiful and perfect world would not allow us to learn anything. Much of what we learn, we learn from trial and error. Without the need to learn, we'd remain at the intelligence of infancy our entire lives.

Think of your favorite shows and movies--they are your favorites because of the interesting problems the characters must face. A perfect world would have no stories because there would be no conflicts. A world without stories, personally speaking, would be anything but perfect.

God created, but what He really created was potential by giving us free will. The only way we could ever truly stop sinning and creating evil would be to take away our free will (which is in some sense what laws already do). Without free will, we would be little more than slaves--there again, contradicting the hope of a perfect world.

A world like our own is not perfectly happy. Evil, disease, and want run rampant in our world. On the other hand, we are in a place in which we can pose interesting questions and thoughts like your own and have them answered by thinking people around the world. Take hope then that one key part of a perfect world already exists, on which I like to think God looks down and smiles.

Answer 3

It takes time for one to realize that the human consciousness we seem to have is not actually God's work. If this reality was the product of God, then there would be no religious beliefs or the need of a Savior. Many beliefs that we entertain while subject to the human experience are simply untrue, and a little knowledge of this starts the whole process of finding the (absolute) truth, rather than fictional truth (which is deception).

Answer 4

I think...

God created the world imperfect so that he would know who could stay strong and faithful to him, even when they are tempted.

He judges us for what we did because he wants us to follow, which he can only know we are sincere about if we are tempted to go against it.

At first, the world was perfect, but humankind messed it up and betrayed him. Adam and Eve's a story, anyway, only there to address how we betrayed him.

Earth isn't Heaven because... honestly... would you be excited to get somewhere you're used to? You're in this world, that's sucks a lot of the time, but then you can say 'well, I can be in Heaven with God someday, and it'll be perfect.'


so i don't know, i hope that helps. that's what i believe.

Answer 5

If you have ever read 'Angels and Demons' by Dan Brown this is explained.

If you had a child, would you let them use a skateboard? and if you did, would you hold them as they went and not let them go? or would you let them go ahead, even though they might fall and scrape their knee?

If you never let your child go ahead and play on the skateboard, despite the danger, they may never learn what pain is and why you shouldn't try and do a flip on the skateboard before you know how.

If you let your child get hurt, does that make you a bad parent?

Think of that on a larger scale, with God as the parent and us as his children. For a better explanation, find this passage in Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Despite the overall controversy of his books, I found this part very spiritually appealing.

Also, if there was no evil, even small infractions may be counted as capital offences. You may get sent to jail for pushing someone out of the way or cursing. Things that to us seem unmeaningful and small may be horrible misdeeds if there is no evil to show us what truly is bad.

In addition, God wishes for us to initiate a relationship with him and prove our loyalty to him and without evil there is no temptaion and no way to prove your faith.

It became something extra formal, yet I used to communicate with Him inspite of the actuality that the reason and in view that I saved ahead to my personal ambition and needs, even as He gave me avertisements I saved none and did my way going into more and more trubles!
