You say your God knows all, so before creating Adam and Eve he knew they would sin, and in turn on Judgement Day Billions of people would be sent to hell and would get tortured for the rest of eternity.(many peaceful people are not Christians eg. 1 Billion Hindus, 600 million + Buddhists etc.)
So is your God such a entity who knows that at some point Of time would create a creation Whose many(billions) of Sons he knows in advance will suffer eternal pain.
Would he create a creation for whom he knows
one day his own son jesus will suffer very much.
No human father would create a robot if he knew in advance that the Robot would torture his son.
Why Not Create A Creation Which Was As Perfect As Him (GOD)
Atleast I know that no kind human being if granted the ability to create would create a creation whom he knows he would have to torture in the future.
Kind Parents punish their children again and again when they make mistakes and do not allow them Free will to commit sin for his entire Life and in the end throw them into a pit of fire.

Did you notice the type of answers you recieved to your questions?
These chirstians are usually hyprocritc, whenever you ask them an original question the don't anwer it or evade it. I doubt if any of chrisitans here have read the full bible. It is full of CONDRADICTIONS.
They just feed on what is taught to them in sermons or by thier pastors. One who has read the bible fully won't beliebe in eteranl sins and all things like that
The answer to your quesiton is accoriding to Bible the god appears to be a sadistic torturer.
Just take the story of Moses for example, then you will know free will story is Bull ****.
In the Bible it is said that when god revealed to moses through his messenger He said that i will make the heart of Pharoah hard
so that he wouldnot hear Moses's request. So where is Pharoahs free will?
And god slaughtered all the first born of Egypt expect that of the Israelis. Why? just because Pharaoh had not realsed the children of Israel form slavery.
Why didn't pharoah relaease them? because god had made his heart hard.
are only the children of israel gods, children. Why had the people of Egypt have to pay the price for the deeds of god.?
From this you can find out that the bible of god is narcassictic, sasistic individual who finds pleasure in torturing peopel

Wow Rahxash! Hey ,I've got some equalizing news, we all have opportunity to get frustrated at issues we haven't sorted out yet! I don't know if you ever pick up a Bible or not, you might be surprised at how The Lord will answer some of these questions if you'd just ask Him.He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly! And He knows you won't and can't always meet that criteria. So Father assigned His very own Son, The Only one, why? Cause He was some kind of sadist, who took pleasure in watching His beloved Son hang on a cross while people spit at Him and called Him every name in the book? Nope! His Son was the only one who qualified for the job! The spotless lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and to all who receive He gives the power to become the sons of God! Rahxash, would a spiteful,cruel, vindictive Father, do such a thing if He hated His creation? Or did He do it for them? To give them access, to once again, talk ,and walk with Him? The Father planted His Son and harvested a family! Yes, He does know those who are His, but we don't always know until we turn to Him and ask Him in . Why would He say, whoever calls upon The name of The Lord I will in no way cast out? Why did He say, ask, and it will be answered to you, seek, and you will find, knock and The Door will be opened to you, to anyone who ask, they shall receive, anyone who seeks shall find, anyone who knocks, The Door shall be opened onto you! All good and pleasant things come down from The Father of Lights in whom there is NO shadow of turning or variableness. Look Rahxash, the creation is not kinder, or smarter, or wiser, or more powerful, than their Creator! He didn't have to breath life into you, but He wanted to give you the free gift of life, so you too could walk and talk with Him in the cool of the day, and He would be your Father and you would be His son, and you would know Him as He truly is, Hes looking for you to come around the bend right now, and when He sees you, He'll run to you, kiss your face, put His own insignia ring on your finger, cover you with His own Coat of many colors , and share His supper with you, as He sings to the family," This is my son who was lost, and now is found, was dead and now is alive.!" Rahxash,, Gods Word says everything was created for His pleasure, and it pleased Him to Create a people who could freely choose life or death, blessing or cursing. And help them to choose correctly by exhibiting all that we gain in the relationship. Isn't it odd how people hate for someone to try to control them, and when God is gracious and gives them space to choose those same people are angered?(Just a thought) Well, it's a wonderful thing to not be angry and miserable, peace and contentment. It's a good thing!!!

While working out our salvation, we come across such questions. Consider, however that a being that knows everything....EVERYTHING...I mean, you can't dissect knowledge from Love and Passion and Generousity. We are here to work out a really big problem, and one of the factors is overcoming our own fears. The example of Adam and Eve and God is what we see everyday and all the time, so constantly it is nearly beneath the radar: broken relationships, unspoken words, anger, selfishness, murder, pride...all these things contribute to this brokeness, but not as much as disobedience itself. As a child I did not fully understand what it was to be a parent. When I had to drink of the cup of Bitterness, only then could I fully understand what ...and it was only an inkling, a small inkling... of the Bitterness God Himself tastes when His precious children betray Him time and again. Yet still, His heart cannot deny us a chance to regain the Honour of being with Him. (I cannot explain it any other way.) *sighs*. I'm not sure I explained that correctly. After all, I am a limited being. Peace be with you, and upon all your relatives.

You open your mouth and nothing good comes out of it. You speak as if you had some knowledge of God's Holy Word when in fact I doubt you have ever read it.
You must like to hear or see your words posted for others to read and hear.
Let me tell you something that may help you out. The day you humble yourself before God and confess that you are a sinner and require forgiveness and accept Jesus Christ God's only begotten Son you will never know no matter how much you read the truth contained in the Word of God.
Careful of what you say. If you lead any child of God away from Him you will suffer greatly for it.
Now get on your knees and pray.><>

I really don't know where you got this information. A lot of non-Christians seem to have it. I'm kinda glad I don't....
Anyway, God created humans for love, and love has to be free or it isn't love. So God gave freedom, and freedom always carries a risk. God must have thought freedom was worth the price.
And I think you can assume that a God who made humanity for love, will not have people suffering any tortures they don't want....

God did create all creation that was perfect, not as God, but perfect. All throughout Genesis 1 it is repeated "God saw that it was good." It really was all good.
For love to be true love, there needs to be a choice. I don't know if you're married. For those who are, they know it's true love because the spouse could have chosen to be with someone else.
God doesn't want robots, robots cannot love. Your computer cannot love you, it does what you tell it to do and that's it. In that case, your computer is just a tool. You can love your computer, but it won't love you back. The same with your car, you can love your car, but it will not love you back. Your car only does what you tell it to do.
Once again, God wants true love. So He gives everyone a choice. He made everything so He knows what's best. This Father really does know what's best. When He says "don't do that" He is saying "don't hurt yourself" (the same way you would tell your child not to touch the stove. When God says "do this", He is saying "do it and be blessed."
God told Adam and Eve they could eat of aaaaaaaaaaany of the fruit they wanted to. He only limited one tree out of all the trees. He could have put more temptations out there but He only put one. Again, remember, He doesn't want robots that can't truly love. We know what Adam and Eve chose.
God could have stopped there and said "well you didn't listen to me, I'm done with you." Nope, He knew He would come down as a man and take the very punishment we deserve. HE DIED FOR US MAN...President Bush won't die for us and here is the Creator of the universe taking a taste of His own medicine out of love and compassion, being spat on, beaten, mocked...man...He could have stopped it at any moment.
Jesus even pleaded with the Father as seen in Matthew 26:39
--Going a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."--
In other words "Father, if there is ANY other way for people to be saved, let me not be beaten and crucified. But may Your will and not My will be done."
People talk about "all roads lead to Heaven", it doesn't matter what you believe in. Ohhh not so! Jesus showed us He had to lay His life down so He could give us His Holy Spirit. Believing in Jesus doesn't get one to Heaven, I mean satan and demons believe in Jesus.
What matters is that 2 Corinthians 5:17 happens to us because of John 3:3.
God says it many times throughout the Bible, He wants no one to go to hell but it's our choice. True love demands a choice.
Ezekiel 18:31-32
--Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die...? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!--

dear frind it is my pleasere to answer your question. when we want to understand God,we should not try on human grounds. we should know that He is omninpresent,omnipotent and omniscence. He knew this all will happen,but in His predeterminative will, when He created man on earth,all was good and no evil on earth.right? when He gave them(Adam&Eve) the free will to choose. when all is good what would they choose?,since there is no evil!. but there was a tree LIke any other tree. only allow them their freedom to exercise the will to chose. they listened to Satan and exercised the freedom by eating the fruit. as consequence to that the seperation came,between God and man. as there is light so there is darkness and as there is good there is evil. so Devil made them to eat. but God in His consern for His children sent His son to die on the cross that we who are the descendents of them come under the sin.and His blood on the cross saves us .and (can fire burn the fire and feel the pain,no. so God who suffred and died He lived because there is no death for God. your parents send you to college knowing that you are their son/daughter,that you should study and become great,but you listening to some for the sake of love you deny your parents and go with other one.here is your parents responsible or you? and as modernistic parents they knew may be out son/daughter would leave us still they allowed you to exercise your right of freedom.so is with God he gave us freedom and we have to choose.and if He doesnt give freedom then HE is dictator,not creator

God created man and offered him free will. He also gave him the wisdom to understand what is right and wrong and yet the power to choose either of it. If he wouldn't have imparted us with this free will, we would rather be animals. He created us so that we could take over the responsibility of taking care of his creations. And if he would have given us his own powers, we would have misused them. He says that a man needs to sweat to survive. He needs us to prove ourselves as worthy creations of the almighty.
Jesus suffered, yet he is the one that gained so much of respect. He is worshipped by millions of people around the globe. If god wanted he could have created us with no knwoledge about the sins, and forcefully induced his pracatices into us. Then what difference would it make between a dictator and the God.
He says, you choose the path, and you choose your destiny.
Talking about human beings, we already created a lot of things that we are sorry for now. The ill effects of industrialisation, pollution, destruction of forests, global warming, destructive weapons coming into picture are all due to the knowledge that we have. Instead of utilizing our efforts and our wealth for well being of mankind, we spent a major portion of it into such things which we always knew would bring in nothing but disaster.
Lastly, there's nothing like your God and my God. They are jsut names. The ultimate power who was responsible for the creation is one and only one. Talking about people who are not christians, do you think they are more god-like? Religion has nothing to do with this. You know about sufferings of Jesus, but do you knwo about the pain that Rama went through when he gave up Sita just because a lady questioned her dignity? Do you know about the pain that Krishna went through when he saw his own people (Yadavs) plunder. Did you know that Buddha gave up his luxurious life and lived a humble life for enlightenment? Or is it that you are jsut trying to speak against the christians?
My friend the bottomline is this is the way the world is. You gotta prove yourself to escape the pit of fire...

When God created hell, he did not create it for man. He created hell for the devil and his fallen angels. When God created Adam and Eve, they had a choice. They chose to disobey God. We too are given a choice. God sent His Son to die for us. Because Jesus died for us, he paid the price for our sins. This is where Salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ comes in at. This is a gift given to us for free, called everlasting life. It is our choice to accept it or deny it. God is a very loving God, but He is also a very Holy God and demands obedience from us. It is not God who sends us to hell. We send ourselves to hell if we don't make it right with God and repent our sins. Anyone who repents and accepts Jesus as their Savior is born again. We then get to go to Heaven instead of hell. It is your choice. I only hope you make the right one before it is too late. I did and I am on my way to everlasting life in the kingdom of God. No one can enter Heaven with un-paid sins. Here is a website that explains the answer to your question a little more clear.

Damn good question. As a thinking Christian everyone should have thought about this at least once. The only answer that makes sense to me is that more good will come out of creation than the evil we are seeing. God has a plan for this chaos and has chosen to forgive all our evil. Pain and suffering and war and famine are all horrible but I trust God. I also don't think God chooses hell for anyone but if you choose to be apart from God the absense of God is the absense of good and you will inevitably suffer.
