Why did God Allow Sin to enter the world if he hates it?
Why did God make us imperfect, and then tell us we all fall short of the glory of God because of sin and stuff? He made us like that. It doesn't make sense. If we fall short why didn't he make us perfect? I mean I know Adam took the fruit, but he made Adam. being omnipotent don't you think he would have noticed that Adam and Eve weren't quite right?Why did God create Satan if he knew what was going to happen? Why does God create murders, molestors, evil-doers if he already knows they are going to be evil? I also think God is unfair for all that pre-destination stuff. Was he bored? Was he lonely? I still don't know.
I know that religion is taken withing logic or reasoning. it's simply by faith, but i just wanna know. by the way FREE WILL doesn't count! If free will were to be true, than God would be either labeled as imperfect or immoral.

You come to some peculiar conclusions.
All I can tell you is that you cannot come through to an understanding of the truth based upon your reasonings, any more than an imperfect eye can perfectly behold an image.
What you need to decide is whether the Gospel is true or not.
I once was a man with many arguments and criticisms against God. I became so exasperated with it all that I told God to get out of my life. Scary thing is, He did, for a while. He let me understand what it meant to have God withdraw His mercy from me. To make a long story short, I was brought very low, and when I was at my lowest and most rebellious against God, I came home one day, fell on my face and started crying. Then something totally unexpected happened. A voice spoke into my heart this simple word "Maybe Jesus really did die for your sins" The change that took place in me is beyond explaining. I felt a flood of light and love and peace and understanding and hope fill my heart that drove out the darkness and hopelessness and despair that had possessed me. I knew intuitively that God had forgiven me, and that I was destined for heaven because I had become a child of God. I did not know anyone else who ever had such an experience. It was not until a year later that I realized what happened to me was that I had been born again, as Jesus describes in John's Gospel chapter three. That very day when I was born again I never doubted the goodness of God again. I stopped lying, stealing and blaspeming God that day, and have lived free from these vices, and many others I won't go into, since that day over 36 years ago.
The point I am trying to make is, people try to arrive at faith through their understanding; but my own experience shows me that one can never arrive to a true understanding until one first believes the testimony of God concerning His Son Jesus Christ.

God made everything perfect. He wanted a creature He could commune with. We are all made in His image-that is being able to reason and feel emotion and create and especially love. Sin entered the world through Satan who was kicked out of heaven for wanting to overthrow or mutiny or be like God. Satan seeks to kill, steal and destroy and is the father of all lies. Man is the crowning act of creation-not the angels who also were created. Satan is jealous and wants to destroy us. He tempted mankind by saying that they also could be like God, not that we ate an apple. Our original sin in us is that we all want to go our own way and not follow God. God isn't going to make us love him. But God knew this was going to happen BEFORE he laid the foundations of the earth. God is eternal. Thus, past, present, and future are all the same. That is how He knows all. But He gives us free will to choose Him nonetheless and for those who believe in Jesus Christ who IS God in the flesh, He gives us eternal life instead of punishment of death. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit like H2O is ice, water and steam. So God came to earth in a human body to take all of the sin upon Himself (past, present, and future) so that we can be free of sin or redeemed. And He knew He would do this BEFORE He made anything! If you don't believe this, you will not partake of the good news of Heaven. The word "gospel" means "good news" because man had lived under the penalty of death since time began. That's why the Old Testament is so depressing. Man will judge the angels in Heaven because man had to overcome. God is Spirit, God is Love, God is Holy so God is a Loving Holy Spirit who is all powerful, all knowing and everywhere at the same time. We should do good not to get to salvation because that would be impossible but because of salvation. Pick up the New Testament (Book of John first) and pray for the gift of the Holy Spirit and your eyes will be opened and you will receive insight like you have never dreamed. God doesn't cause sickness or evil but does allow it. It is a mystery-read Book of Job in Old Testament. There is a ying and yand to the Bible. But Satan has already lost. Civilization is now living in a prologue state. Ultimately, Satan will be done away. The human condition is sad cause of US; not God!

God did not want Adam and Eve to sin. God knew ahead of time what the results of sin would be. God knew that Adam and Eve would sin, and would thereby bring evil, suffering, and death into the world. Why, then, did God put the tree in the Garden of Eden and allow Satan to tempt Adam and Eve? God put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden to give Adam and Eve a choice. God allowed Satan to tempt Adam and Eve to force them to make the choice. Adam and Eve chose, of their own free wills, to disobey God and eat the forbidden fruit. The result – evil, sin, suffering, sickness, and death have plagued the world ever since. Adam and Eve's decision results in each and every person being born with a sin nature, a tendency to sin. Adam and Eve's decision is what ultimately required Jesus Christ to die on the cross and shed His blood on our behalf. Through faith in Christ, we can be free from sin's consequences, and ultimately free from sin itself. May we echo the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7:24-25, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

God allowed sin in the world to demonstrate his power over it. Read the ninth chapter of the Book of Romans (especially verses 14-24) if you want to discover the answer to your question. Here's a link for you to follow:

I hope this helps.

God is perfect, we're not.
He didn't make us perfect because YES we have free-will. That's the answer, don't try to throw it out to support your theory.
It's a test of faith. Free-will gives us a choice to follow the faith or toss it out.

Free-Will. God loves us so much that he gaves us free-will and the ability to rebel from him if we choose. If we didn't have free will we would be like robots, but that is not true love. Even though evil is against god, he can use it to bring Good. The greatest evil in history (Jesus' death) brought about the greatest good (liberation from sin though Jesus' resurrection!)

It's a test of faith; everything happens for a reason, right?
