to die for our sins? If satan/adam&eve/whoever did the first sin then why couldn't god forgive humans instead of send his son to die on the cross?

I thought god was all powerful, why does jesus need to get the key to our salvation if god has the power to send us to heaven or hell? couldn't he just sort us out in heaven instead of send us all to hell.

Also how did noah populate the whole world by himself if god flooded it? there would be a lot of incest and the bible says incest is "forbidden".

How did Adam and Eve populate the world? again, incest was against the bible.

According to the Bible, in the garden of Eden, Satan accused God of being a liar and a bad ruler (Genesis 3:1-5). God could have just destroyed Adam and Eve but you must remeber that all the angels in heaven were watching and hearing what took place in the garden of Eden, so because God has a perfect sense of justice, God has allowed time to pass in order to let humans prove whether or not they could successfully rule themselves. Also, God sending his son Jesus was his biggest display of love toward humans (John 3:16). For more info please visit www.watchtower.org.

What's the whole point of salvation? Check this: God at the
beginning of time sets up laws, scientific laws, gravity,
etc. He also sets up a basic law of obedience: love God and
love your neighbor. Man broke these two laws (the core of
the Ten Commandments). All of us break these laws. God has
already said if you don't follow these laws you will be put
to death. But since He loves His creation, He doesn't want
to destroy them. He wants a way to save them. But how?
Sacrifice. Executing the consequence but on someone else.
But who could be worthy enough to be sacrified for billions
of people since the beginning of time? God. So He went to
earth, and died for the sins of man.

All He asks now is for you to accept that. That is
salvation. He doesn't want you to pull up a list of things
so you can be 'Christian'. He just wants you to accept that
He died for you and that your sins are forgiven when you ask
of it to be.

Now how about attitudes and following laws and
regulations and all this jazz. You have to see God as a
friend rather than a cop. Just for an example, if you
hang out with friends that smoke all the time, you are
influenced to do so yourself and might take up smoking.
In the same way, if you hang out with God and people that
believe in Him, you will be influenced to live that kind of
life. The change is progressive, and to some people
instant. But it all starts out with befriending God.
