Why not just create us as free from sin?
If it's a test, then why? If he created us, then why would he need to test us?

But we will be tortured for all eternity if we sin, so why create us as unable to live without sinning?
So we are forced to be in debt to him or suffer eternally?

God created Adam and Eve, why create them with the ability to sin?

God did not create us to be sinners...he created Adam and Eve without sin . When Adam and Eve disobeyed God sin entered...this is why we need Jesus to be the atonement for our sin...

God did not create us to be sinners. Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve decided to disobey Him. They were created free from sin but they had to do things their way and that is what brought on sin. We have them to thank for that.

Adam and Eve were at first free of sin. It was their choice to disobey God. Thus making them sinners.
Think of it this way, if 1/3 of God's angels rebelled against Him, why would He give the next group (humans) a free ticket to paradise. He would want to have us Choose Him, so that when we get to Heaven, we will never want to rebell.

God created us to have a perfect relationship with Him- however beginning with the first couple- Adam and Eve- we chose to sin- we choose to disobey. Since we sin, we deserve to die- however Christ was sent from heaven to die the death that we deserve to die. To me the relationship with God is even more special because it took His sacrifice to show me how much He loved this sinner- If I was created and never sinned- it would not be a sacrifice that showed how much God loves me. Understand?

God gave humans a gift and that is free will. Wouldn't you be bitter if you were created as no more than a robot? Its not a test, God really does love us, and He wants us to love him back on our own choice. Everything's your choice. You choose to be who you are. You choose whether to believe in a God or not. When we choose to turn away from Him, that is sin.
P.S. I believe Adam and Eve are symbolic characters in the Bible. They do not literally exist. They represent our ancestors. Hello, no one has ever really proven what or who the first man was.

Because then why should we exist if he made us all perfect? I believe he created us this way to see if we repent against sin on our own, it would have been way too easy to just make us perfect, mankind was meant to sin, theres no way around it.
You can't really question God, I mean, he's the most powerful being in the universe, so who are we to question why, we just do our best to stay in God's favor and keep his Spirit within us.

We were created free of sin, UNTIL Adam and Eve decided to eat the forbbiden fruit. from then all, because they were sinful, all their offspring, aka the entire world, is born sinful too . the sins from parents and grandparents are passed downn.

why would god create people at all?
if you can tell difference between sin and virtue you can choose one of them. god gives you this option and watches on what you pick. if you did not have this choice, if you could not decide and evolve, what would have been the point in living?

A very good question. Unfortunately, no one on this planet can honestly and knowingly answer. Sin is defined by man and I guess it is determined by the society in which we live and the religion adopted.

He did create us free from sin. We (the first humans) chose sin. Free will. Love it or leave it.
