That makes God a sadist, doesn't it? God loves to endure pain.
He killed his own son. He loved the world he killed his own son, Jesus. Who loves a bunch of strangers more than their own family?

But God designed for humans to be so naive that they could be corrupted and take the steps to become evil.

Many would declare you heretic...

But then, now I think about it, you're right!!!

If God knows it all.. what happened, what happens and what will happen... He knew what would happen after creating humans...

Yup... I find hard to believe in a sadomasochist god... but... then... you maybe guessing right!.

Thanks for asking a well thought-out question Ashley.

Those that answer "man had freewill" have neither a Biblical worldview nor an understanding of God's sovereignty and omniscience.

God both knew and ordained that Adam would fall into sin. But God had a greater purpose. God's chief aim is to bring glory to Himself and His greatest glory is in His becoming a Man in the Person of Jesus Christ and redeeming His people. No sin, no redemption, no glory.

Sadly, few Christians are willing to think through this consistently or Biblically. The fact that God is radically God-centered is a beautiful and glorious truth that all Christians should embrace. Afterall, if God is perfect and holy (and He is) then He MUST love Himself above all things. And if He loves His people, He must give them the Best the universe has to offer, namely Himself.

Thank you for asking tough questions and please don't judge Christianity by professing Christians who refuse to reason.

God did not make Adam and Eve so they could sin against him

Further, since Adam and Eve did not possess any knowledge of Good and Evil, they could not be held responsible for disobeying God's demand that they not eat from the tree, since they would have had the minds of infants in that regard. They would have had no intelligent idea that what they were doing was wrong, outside of knowing they were told not to. Concepts of Good and Evil were not yet developed in their minds, therefore, they could not be held accountable.

God made Adam and Eve just so they could sin against him . If that is truth , proof that God know and do not know how to prevent it from happening.If not ; proof that he caught in surprise and things gone wrong in the process?If he did not make Adam and Eve ???....the wrong is not with him,right ?But what most important is that do you believe in God?Did he create you to think that way?Chicken or egg? Do you know the answer yet?

First of all i think u should stop confusing movies and life. God didn't create humans to play, he made them 4 a reason. Human is responsible for what he does!!!!!!!!!Adam was told not to eat, but he ate, and god 4gived him. May be it's a way to tell us that anyone who's is human that he isn't perfect and he can do mistakes,but the difference is who be sry for what he did.

God gave us as well as the angels "free will". He hoped we wouldn't sin. Now that we have he's showing us we can't govern or rule ourselves. As you can see, he is right. This world is nearing Armageddon as we speak. Read the book of Revelation.....btw, we are god's children too. It's good that you are questioning though, God wants you to question. Just as a child asks questions of their parents to learn, we must do the same! Never stop searching for the truth. It's up to each one of us to seek and find our own salvation. Peace and Love.

Definately sounds kind of crazy when you get down to it. It makes God sound more like that demented chick from that one movie who tries to kill her kids just so she can have this one guy. If God was a human everybody would say run to the hills and keep away from that nutter.
