Why did God gave us free-will instead of his own attributes?

Question

--THIS QUESTION IS GENERALLY FOR THEIST ONLY--
if God have these attributes >>>> sinless, omnibenevolent, perfect, do all positive things, and above all ability to LOVE others, then tell me why didn't God gave each one of us with this flawless attributes. How could giving this 'God attributes' be a bad idea if God himself have all these? His selfishness to be the only one to be perfect (sinless) is the reason why humans are imperfects (sinful). It really doesn't matter if God have/doesn’t have free will, he keeps blaming us for all the bad things that have existed, if only he gave us all of his attributes then there would be no need for sins, hell, and doubts about his own existence!

Note:
Free-will >> could love or not love.
God's attributes >> could love AND do all 'good' things

Plus another thing, if doing nothing but good is the alternative to free will, I'll take it.

what i really pointing out is

why god gave humans sin-prone ability(free-will), instead of his own flawless-attributes.

P.S. we don't have both free-will and God's attributes, its just like saying God has the ability to do sin!!

Answer 1

God didn't give us these attributes. These are human attributes. We assigned these attributes to "God" when we created "Him". Similarly, "God" is a "He" and that could only mean that he has a penis and testicles. Has anyone recently met "God" or do we rely on the testaments of story-tellers from the times when mental illnesses were not quite understood or even acknowledged among the prominent and wealthy?

Answer 2

When God originally created man, he did create us in his image and he gave us his attributes. However, being a God that loves us, he will never force his creation to do what he wants us to do. He will allow us to make our own choices, and live with the consequences. We are allowed to choose whether we are going to love someone or wether we are going to hate someone. God did not create us as puppets. God intended to have a sinless creation, and told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree that was in the very center of the Garden of Eden, but he was not going to stop them from making their own choice. However the choice that they made, had consequences that had to be dealt with and they were forced out of the Garden of Eden forever. Even so, God still watched over them, and still provided for them, because He loved them, and he covered them with the skin of animals, as a sign of forgiveness.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve had those qualities and would have passed them on to us but, well they sinned. And their sinning was not God's fault. God also made arrangements to undo what Satan, Adam, and Eve did. All the angels God created were created god like and they have free will, how do you think Satan and the demons fell? God did not want robots, he wanted free agents that would love him from their hearts of their own FREE WILL not becaused they were programmed that way.

Answer 4

We do have some of these attributes, but refuse to live by them. Instead we'd rather selfishly sin. But to be perfect, we would be equal to God. Hmmm-- this is what Lucifer thought he was - equal to God = pride. Pride led to his spiraling downfall that never stops until he's all the way down to the lake of eternal fire. So.....no thanks, I'm content with being human with a limited mind, but a free will to decide to have an open heart to let Jesus, who loved me just the way I am, but refused to leave me that way. Thanks to Our Heavenly Father for the gift of His Son, Jesus, so that we may go to Heaven to be with Him for eternity!

Answer 5

The Bible says we are created in "God's image". Thus, we not only have the free will he gave us, but we also have his attributes!! The question you really should be asking is why don't we use His attributes more often!!!

Answer 6

Man as soon as he was made to learn about the law, it did not take him long to disobey it. So in order that the consequence will not be too severe, out of that law, man was given the choice to follow or not. At least, when you commit mistake it is your responsibility to take on the consequence of what you did.

Answer 7

God didnt give them to us...because that would still be like a dictator. God let's us sin...and form our attributes..according to Him. but if He gave us those attributes already....then what reason is there for Jesus? and we would already know who we are when we were born....and we would never sin...and we would be like robots...who only do what God programmed us to do. God gave us freedom...and let's us form ourselves....and those who are Christians try to form themselves according to Jesus's laws.



God bless u. =]






EDIT: ok i wanted to add on...u said God gave us a sin -prone ability. like i said in my answer. God gave us free will to form ourselves...with Him. we formed our sinful nature...well...adam and eve did...and it carried on to us. God let us form ourselves....and WE are the one who formed our sin-prone ability...not God.

Answer 8

Why are we not inherently perfect? Because we must act perfectly first, then we can be called perfect.

So the question is, why do we not act like a God?

Answer 9

God knows us better than we do that's why. Mankind has always abused the gifts God has given.
