for himself. Why create a creature of dirt with a test. God all knowing knew that his own creature (Us) would fail his test. He is all knowing. He wasn't lonely, he had the Angels and could have made a wife for himself (if he was a man). He the so called creator had a different plan. He was bored and wanted to have fun. Creating a world with uncertainties, a place where his creatures can experience, love, hope, faith, fun, happiness, loss, joy, pain, all the emotions that he experiences. Is it cruel to test us to give some people total happiness, how may people do you know that are truely happy? How many people do you know live in misery? God is playing a game of the Sims, are you a bad Sim or a Good Sim? Do you really have a choice or is your destiny predetermined. God so you call him, so you worship him. You are nothing more to him than a quick fix on bordom. A childish God that has a sick sense of humor and no sense of care or compasion for allowing this sickness.

Is God insecure that he needed to make Angels to worship him, is he insecure. Is he insecure that he needs being to love him? If he was nice he wouldn't have to demand that people worhsip and love him. What if told you that if you didn't worship me and love me I will set you on fire forever. Is that nice or insecurity and hateful?

God created the angles sinless with no desires. He created humans with desires and asked them to worship him. That's why God created humans.

Oh joy . another that does not get the picture.
The Angels are those souls that the Creator made from its own body . before the creation of the physical universe. Your soul is also a part of the Creator . The difference being .Is that you decided to investigate the physical universe that the Creator made and entered into one of the physical forms and enjoyed the sensations so much that you forgot that you could leave the physical form and where you came from.
Or to put it another way the CREATOR threw off sparks from its own body that became the souls of all that was and will be.
After the creation of the physical universe the Creator let those souls that wanted to to enter and see what was made.. Those that didn't enter became the higher Angels.

You are thinking too small. You are thinking in human terms. You are a speck on a speck in a tiny galaxy questioning an infinite God who is not a human and and bigger than the universe.
What He gave you was life and beyond that, the gift of choice. It is not a game. Would you like to wake up every day and live a programmed life with no choices? It is not cruel to have choices. Human error and ignorance is what causes all the trouble in life.
In this day and age, no one wants to be accountable for their own actions, so it is just easier to blame God for everything.
You need to think bigger, dig deeper and and take inventory of your own actions in life before you make the accusations you have made.
Ultimately everything God does is out of love because He IS love.

First, God Himself is not a human. He is a deity, and in being such He is not bound by the conditions of earth. He is not a man, so He did/does not need a wife.
This is why God created humans::
Yes, God knew we would end up sinning. And yes, He created us to have a free will. But God wants us to have a relationship with him. That relationship is called "fellowship", and you can't have real fellowship with someone unless they genuinely want to. It wouldn't be a true relationship if, say, you tried to be friends with a computer; the computer just does whatever you tell it to do, it doesn't have a real choice of whether to stay with you or go somewhere else, so its friendship really means nothing. So, in order for God to have true fellowship with His creations, there had to be something standing between humans and God, so that only people who genuinely wanted God in their lives had a relationship with Him. That's why there had to be sin, and all of us had to be sinners, so that we could opt to have fellowship with God. We had to be able to choose.
You just have to realize, God has already won. He won when He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for all the sins of mankind, so we can have a relationship with Him. He loves you and He wants you, and He's already forgiven you; all you have to do is accept it.
The truth is, this world was created perfect. In the beginning, everything was perfect. It was sin, something not of God, that destroyed the world and brought it to the corrupted state we see today.
And I know of at least one person who is truly happy. This person has found hope, strength, peace, joy, and perseverance in Jesus Christ, even throughout the toughest of life's trials.
And that person is me.
Have a blessed day.

I'd have to say my best answer is that everything God created, non-human, is perfect. Trees, flowers, the sun, all that.
God created man with a non-perfection quality, known as free will. It is my belief that yes, our destiny is pre-determined, but it doesn't mean He expects us NOT to make any mistakes. It is BECAUSE of the mistakes we are lead.
If you have kids (I don't, I'm just guessing here) you make a baby, and you watch it grow. You watch it struggle with things like their first step. You can't do it for them, but you can just stand close by just in case the baby falls down. I see that as God, standing by watching us, knowing when we need rescuing.
As a daughter to a mother who suffers, it IS painful to watch someone suffer. God gets no pleasure from it. Whether you see it or not, He is always there, waiting to help. But he can't help unless you want Him to. You can't recieve something unless you are ready for it. If you've never played a musical instrument in your life, and someone gave you sheet music, what would you do? Give it away, unless you really wanted it.
I know a lot of people who live in misery. I know I did for all of my life, I also felt my life was a punishment. I was teased in school, abused/neglected as a kid, struggled with food addiction, bad relationships, etc etc. But I finally reached a point where I needed help, and I got it. You won't get it unless you ask for it. Yeah, you really do have a choice. You can choose to struggle, or choose to ask for help.

Man is in a higher class than the angels. Man is the only creature who has the right to sit down with Jesus. The angels do not have this right. Besides, man is made in the image of God.

good question. essentially, the question is not so much why god would create a world filled with so much suffering, but why a perfect god would need or want to create a world at all. a perfect being would be absolute, a unity, and be complete in and of itself. so, such a being would not need to create a universe in order to be fulfilled. as for wanting to, well, if god was perfect then he would have no desires. is not desire desire of something, namely something that is lacked, something needed for fulfillment? yet a perfect being is completely fulfilled almost by definition.
hume also raised the idea that god may be a childish being that created the universe in order to impress his elders, but was laughed at because his universe was botched, a child's plaything. god may then have abandoned the universe because it was an embarrassment to him, and gone on to improve on it or ceased creating altogether because creation signifies immaturity on his part, an imperfection in his being. interesting point.
boredom, well, always a possibility, in fact i've often wondered what god did to amuse himself before he created the universe (by the way i don't believe in gods anyway - but its interesting to think about these things)! and nietzsche did say a bit about god being a sick being...

Well he created us so that we would worship him and love him, tell me does a robot do very good for love and worship? he created us with the choice of a life of happiness worshiping god or a life of misery and sin. Adam and Eve choose to sin and so did we, but god out of his love will still accept us into his kingdom if we follow him, and keep his commanments

God didn't need us to cure His boredom. He wasn't bored, nor will He ever be. I applaud you trying to work this out in your head but your pretense is wrong so your conclusion is wrong. God didn't put you down here to be "happy" or "sad"...it isn't for the ride...it's for the destination. It is here you determine your destination. God gives you a choice where you want to go. What is "unfair" is you judging God when He created you with the ability to choose where you want to spend eternity. He doesn't take joy in watching the bad things play out, but He can help you through the bad times. He doesn't take joy in sickness or disease and your "happiness" is incidental to your learning curve. God is willing to sacrifice your "happiness" to make you whole.

You must be on of those free-thinkers... an atheist or an agnostic... or you might be something else but whatever it is you certainly aren't a true believer in God...
Bravo and good for you. ...and thanks for posting your well thought out question.
My answer is that God couldn't create the hole of a pre-made donut. There is no God.
