No cause we didn't exist before we were born.
God is imaginary anyway, so your question doesn't work. Sorry.

If God actually put His children into compartments of flesh for a season, then I would imagine that somewhere we will all be seeing a Suggestion Box that we can use, just to help a bit. But since God did not do what we all believe He did (to us), then the problem is ours to solve with the tools that are available here and now. We have never witnessed the perfect state yet (seeing God) and are not fallen from heaven. Truth does not govern in such an unlawful state as to send perfection into a night of its opposite, imperfection.

Yes I do, believe we were in Heaven, before we were born. but I cannot say if we have seen God or not. and we were put here on this Earth because we were in Heaven. When Satan, who was also an Angel at the time. became evil, and many others joined him. God built the Earth to find which were good and which were bad. That is why it is called a Testament. this Earth is just a testing place. because God did not know which or how many were good or bad. and to be able to test so many of us in a shorter time. he gave us shorter lives. but enough to see who the bad ones are, so they can be done away with. to keep Heaven clean and not corrupted with evil.

No, we did not see God before we were born, although God could see us even in the womb, as it says at
Psalm 139: 14-16: "14Â I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
As my soul is very well aware.
15Â My bones were not hidden from you
When I was made in secret,
When I was woven in the lowest parts of the earth.
16Â Your eyes saw even the embryo of me,
And in your book all its parts were down in writing,
As regards the days when they were formed
And there was not yet one among them.
However, God created man originally to live on earth forever. Had Adam and Eve not been disobedient to God, mankind would never have known death. God's original purpose will take place just as he had planned, but first the question of his sovereignty and of his righteous rule will be answered (which was brought to question in the Garden of Eden. Satan called God a liar and claimed that he was with-holding something from them that they needed. Satan also lead them to believe that they could be better off without God's guidance. Time has shown that mankind cannot goverrn themselves successfully. We still grow old and die, there is poverty, hunger, sickness, war, crime, death...the list goes on.
Jeremiah 10:23: "I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."
Anyway, we can be reassured that God's purpose will take place and mankind, obedient mankind will live forever on this earth...
Isaiah 55: 10 & 11: "For just as the pouring rain descends, and the snow, from the heavens and does not return to that place, unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout, and seed is actually given to the sower and bread to the eater, 11Â so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it."
Psalm 37: 9-11, 29: "For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.
10Â And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.
11Â But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.
Matthew 5:5: "“Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."
Acts 24:15: "and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."
The ones who died with out knowing God will then have a chance to know God and make a decision, then, whether or not to serve him.
The wages sin pays is death,( Romans 3:23) so the resurrected are already cleared of their former sin. They will be judged on what they do after they are resurrected and have had a chance to learn the truth.
John 5: 28 & 29: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29Â and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
So we are created to live forever, but we are under the effects of sin at this present time. But Jesus died and presented his perfect human life as a ransom, so that we all might have life.
John 17: 3: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

Some children have reported that after they had died and came back...that they saw Jesus and saw the process. That angels (you) actually pick out your own hair color, eye color, where you want to go, etc. Then you are sent down to earth to be born.
Now this sounds like crazy talk to an adult...but remember children are innocent. And if this is true.....wonder what people will think when they realize the body they have hated so much in their life....they picked out themselves.

3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
A lot of Christians believe that when Christ said except a man be born of water that is baptism but he is saying a man must be born of the womb first. But if the child is conceived it will go to heaven. Any woman aborting a baby will face this baby and Jesus on judgement day

All of us were with God before mortality. He presented His plan to us that we should gain mortality, to live by faith and learn by the choices we make, whether for good or bad. If we follow His teachings and commandments as presented by Christ and confirmed by the Holy Ghost, then we will eventually return to His presence in an immortal, resurrected form to share His Kingdom with Christ and be like Him. Thus, this mortal sojourn is only a temporary absence from our Eternal Father. It is a test for us to learn for ourselves, the right from the wrong. He is saddened when we choose wrong and rejoices when we choose right. He knew that we would make wrong choices, thus He prepared a Savior, Christ, to atone for our mistakes and make is possible for us to return to Him if we will accept Christ's atonement in our lives.
So your answer is yes, and we will see Him again after mortality.

I'm not quite sure if I understand this question. However, I can tell you I believe that there was a pre-mortal life, that we lived with God before we came to this earth, and hopefully, if we live our lives well, we will be able to return to and live with Him again.

yes it is said that he showed us this life and all the sadness in it and we agreed to it, and to complete it before our time is up. But he wipes our minds clean from any knowledge so we may learn from our mistakes and how to perfect our self's.

--We were no where else before we were born--
--God made angels, angels; humans,humans;animals, animal, in that pattern from the beginning!
The immortal soul thing or immortal spirit thing is not a Bible teaching!
