God created man, God created man to be flawed, but he wants us to feel sorry when we make mistakes, but he made us to make mistakes. Does this make sense?
Is he not setting man up for failure from the beginning?
And God is the source of all evil and good. I wish religions would stop looking at God in only one perspective.
Please give a summary of the statements above and please do not quote the bible.

ALL WAS PERFECT AT EDEN
Men that live to be near 1000 years old, one created and after sinning, the rest being born in sin which means imperfection, before the flood they had a life sustaining earth, after the flood that is lost and it involves the heavens, they have lost contact with their life source, the spirit of God is the life of the soul.
So in imperfection, their life will get shorter but they are not guilty of this, they are born into it, however because they are imperfect, they can now act as Cain and kill just because their feelings are disturbed.
If God had wiped it all out, we would not be here. So we have a life that is short and full of troubles, with a promise of the etenity we were meant to have from Eden.
Satan and the fallen angels are also sons of God, the deliberately rebelled, so God has
given them a certain time limit, angels do not die and they were here even before earth became a focus for preparation for animals and then man.
Religion does not have a clue as to what the bible is all about. It shows how imperfection works in people, a bible to the world after 1611 CE and 1000 religions form, after 395 years they do not know what hell really is, they do not know what the soul really is. Every one has his own opinion. Plans are made to save humankind from the imperfection they are born into.
The Resurrection.
The resurrection is same as being created as Adam was, the person has no imperfections. All are given every oportunity for eternal life. So this assurance is all the way through the bible, man has fallen into imperfection, he was not created as food as the animals are, but to be over the animals and be in a life sustaining earth.
All will be made as new as before Eden, the original plan of God will work for the offsprings of Adam.

God created man a perfect being. He would have stayed this way if he hadn't dropped the ball in the Garden of Eden.
God created man with free will. He did this because he wanted a true relationship with mankind, not one that was forced or robotic.
I don't believe that God is the source of evil. Satan is.
Divine wisdom is wisdom that can only come when God opens your eyes to information that you wouldn't normally have or see.

In the world`s defintion , Divine Wisdom means anything that God has taught is understood and practiced in your daily living by obeying God`s Law . God did not create man to be flawed ! Man flawed himself by using his free will to disobey God ! A mistake does not have to be a sin !! You can make a mistake on a test and fail , but that mistake is not a sin !! God made us not to sin , and it makes perfect sense to anyone that knows the difference between a " Divine sin against God mistake ", and a mistake in natural judgement ! God did not create evil ? Where did you get that from ?? The devil is responsible for the evil you are referring to !!!

How can a person answer this without refering to the Bible? You referenced the Bible in your own question. Man was not created flawed. Mankind was created with a free will. Mankind chose to disobey God by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This meant that mankind chose to enter a system by which their actions will be judged. Which in turn explains the need for a saviour. Since no human can be perfect, the need for a redemption exists. God provided a mean for redemption through sacrifices in the old testament and through Jesus Christ in the new testament. It is only through acceptance of redemption, that Christ paid for at calvary that mankind can be free from the law of sin and death that Adam subjected us to in the Garden of Eden.

I believe that God made us to make mistakes to reinforce our faith
God is the source of all good and evil...I think there will come a time in everyone's spiritual journey when they realize that there is no such thing as evil...there is goodness everywhere under Heaven. There is a purpose and reason to all things, whether or not those reasons & purposes are ever disclosed to us. I have found so many blessings in the guise of evil...you just have to look with faithful eyes

That's like explaining a car with out the manual. Telling someone a recipe you've never heard before, with out the cook book. Explain God, but you can't you anything related to God to explain Him!
That is a set up for failure if I ever heard it.
Try asking an sincere question. you'll get a better response.

God created man with free-will, that is they had the choice of whether or not they wanted to serve him. The penalty for disobedience was sin and death. They inherited imperfection.
God is the personification of good.
Jesus Ransom sacrifice atoned our sins; we are imperfect we sin. God wants us to recognize this, and ask the forgiveness on the basis ofJesus Ransom sacrifice; not for the sake of us feeling bad about are selves, but just so we acknowledge the necessity of the Ransom and also that we still want to obey God to best of our ability.

He didn't create us to be flawed, He gave us free will. Imagine if He would've created us without the option of sin? Sin is defined as separation from God, that means we would -never- have been able to leave God's presence (Garden of Eden.) That would mean that we are prisoners of God's love. God basically said, "Look, here's this tree, it's your door out if you want it, but I'm telling you it's bad. You can either trust me, or find out for yourselves." Much like when any child is instructed to not to something, he/she does it out of instinct, and curiosity. God didn't put the sin in us, He truly loved us by letting us free. We would have been free inside the Garden, but without sin. It is -OUR- fault this happened. We aren't made to make mistakes, just made to think for ourselves. That's what you atheists always tell us Christians to do... Then God sent his only Son, and by a tree we came out of Eden, by a tree we come back in (The Cross.) That is our ticket back in, He paid the ultimate price. Hallelujah!

So where do we get this explanation of divine wisdom if it can't come out of the Bible which is what tells us there is a divine God. If you don't want Bible then you don't have God.

It's God's plan not yours. He has to defeat Satan also.
They ate (assimilated or consumed knowledge) from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Satan).
That's why God said;
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
We all must eat (assimilate or consume knowledge) of the tree of life (Jesus Christ), to live for ever.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Study to show thyself approved.
