Why not just cut to the end? I don't understand why he would bother with all the crap when he knows how it's going to turn out anyway... does he just like to see us suffer?

bingo.
you just reasoned another fatal flaw in the bible.
which is why it shoudl be called BuyBull
you can see from the answers above that people who are brainwashed with cult belief cannot even understnd the logical question you are asking, nor can they answer it appropriately.
the point is this: if god already knows the future and past, and already knows what choices we all make, and he already knows how we will react to free will -- then what's the point in all this??
THERE ISN'T ONE.
proving once again, that the premise of the bible is false, and it contradicts itself. it doesn't even pass the test for basic logic.

I think you are a very ignorant person, but that is a good question. Do you know if your going to pass or fail his tests? Do you know exactly what your future holds down to the last detail? I didnt think so, and neither do I. Why would God want to see us suffer. He loves us, is that not obvious. Its a test of faith to see if we are real and really trust him.
John 3:16 "For God so LOVED the world..."
Genesis12:2 "I will bless you, and I will make you a blessing to others"
Psalm 49:10 "Be still and know that I am God"
I will fear no evil, what can mortal man do to me that my Father will allow??

The "tests" are just excuses used by Christians for why we have difficulty in life if there is a God.
"Losing my father, sister, cousin, dog, house, wife, children, car, job and getting cancer in the same year is just his way of testing my faith."
Right. Nice try. Pretty sure a God would have prevented something like that. Just like he would have prevented wars, genocides etc.

God's knowledge is not gain like ours threw step by step.from things known to unknown.
God's knowledge of the future does not take away our freedom, but leaves our wills free to act or not to act

If we don't take the test, then we'll neither pass nor fail. Since he knows that we'll fail/pass, we HAVE to take them for his knowledge to be correct. It's all somewhat difficult to swallow, but study temporal mechanics and time travel.

No, I think he wanted to know what it was like, so he became fragments and pretended to forget, just to find out again. After all the only thing better than something great is discovering it...

No, he does it for us. We don't know the outcome so it's good exercise for our souls, for our relationship with God.
We wouldn't appreciate it if it was handed to us.

He is giving us a choice. What good are we to him if we didn't make that choice yet?
