Question

If god is almighty why didn't he create humans to be perfect knowing imperfect humans would cause death and murder amongst each other?

---found that quote on www.boardofwisdom.com just thought i'd share that so people can talk about it and what-not.

Answer 1

he may be almitey, but he was a Jerk when he created the world in this fashion

an the reason why he did it is because it is much mo INTERESTING fo HIM to watch us screw up or succeed, and not just always do the rite thang

Answer 2

God is Almighty, and He is even more so a loving Father of infinite love and lavish mercy, and He has a perfect plan for each and every person and being and entity and even every atom. There are three levels: Perfect infinite Paradise and Perfected huge Ultimate-Absolute sub-Paradise spheres and lastly, all nearly countless Humans out in this large space-time universe to continue to perfect. We are each given sacred freewill (volition) to choose to do right or wrong ! God's pure Spirit is now inside all normal humans, and also He the Spirit of Truth is now freely poured out upon all humans to spiritually guide us. God only allows sinful humans to kill or maim the physical body; after that they have no more power over you as a Spirit-led soul-mind Personality !

Your "I am of I AM" Personality is direct from God; and no Human, other than you, could destroy that divine Personal Relationship of
Father and Son of God or Father and Daughter of God.

Peace and progress,

Answer 3

Would you prefer your kids or robots? Is there any joy in seeing your imperfect kids grow up to be good adults?

If this is an argument to show that God is not almighty, then it is a poor one.

Answer 4

Yes, what you are saying makes sense. There is a spiritual reality but it is hard to understand. The key is in your own heart. Religion is mainly just a bunch of mixed up beliefs that have no bearing on anything real. And that is true of ALL religions except for buddhism which is pretty logical.

Answer 5

His intention was to create 'pure' humans. But as time went on, sins overwhelmed everything. That brought about the Great Flood.

Answer 6

He felt that beings with free will was better than beings that have no will like horses, cows, dogs, etc. He is Almighty in that he created both.

Answer 7

To begin with, think about this: Do you appreciate having the freedom to choose what you will do and say, what you will eat and wear, what kind of work you will do, and where and how you will live? Or would you want someone to dictate your every word and action every moment of your life?

No normal person wants his life taken out of his control so completely. Why not? Because of the way God made us. The Bible tells us that God created man in his 'image and likeness,' and one of the faculties God himself has is freedom of choice. (Genesis 1:26; Deuteronomy 7:6) When he created humans, he gave them that same wonderful faculty—the gift of free will. That is one reason why we find it frustrating to be enslaved by oppressive rulers.

So the desire for freedom is no accident, for God is a God of freedom. The Bible says: "Where the spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom." (2 Corinthians 3:17) Hence, God gave us free will as part of our very makeup. Since he knew the way our minds and emotions would work, he knew that we would be happiest with free will.

To go with the gift of free will, God gave us the ability to think, weigh matters, make decisions, and know right from wrong. (Hebrews 5:14) Thus, free will was to be based on intelligent choice. We were not made like mindless robots having no will of their own. Nor were we created to act out of instinct as were the animals. Instead, our marvelous brain was designed to work in harmony with our freedom of choice.
To show how caring God was, along with the gift of free will, our first parents, Adam and Eve, were given everything that anyone could reasonably want. They were put in a large, parklike paradise. They had material abundance. They had perfect minds and bodies, so they would not have to get old or get sick or die—they could have lived forever. They would have had perfect children who could also have had a happy, everlasting future. And the expanding population would have had the satisfying work of eventually turning the entire earth into a paradise.—Genesis 1:26-30; 2:15.

Regarding what was provided, the Bible relates: "God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good." (Genesis 1:31) The Bible also says of God: "Perfect is his activity." (Deuteronomy 32:4) Yes, the Creator gave the human family a perfect start. It could not have been better.

However, did God purpose for free will to be without limits? Imagine a busy city without any traffic laws, where everybody could drive in any direction at any speed. Would you want to drive under those conditions? No, that would be traffic anarchy and would surely result in many accidents.

So too with God's gift of free will. Unlimited freedom would mean anarchy in society. There have to be laws to guide human activities. God's Word says: "Behave like free men, and never use your freedom as an excuse for wickedness." (1 Peter 2:16, JB) God wants free will to be regulated for the common good. He purposed for us to have, not total freedom, but relative freedom, subject to the rule of law.

As surely as we were created with the need to submit to God's physical laws, we were created with the need to submit to God's moral and social laws. (Matthew 4:4) Humans were not created to be independent of their Maker and be successful. The prophet Jeremiah says: "It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step. Correct me, O Jehovah." (Jeremiah 10:23, 24) So in every way humans were created to live under God's rulership, not their own.

Obedience to God's laws would not have been burdensome for our first parents. Instead, it would have worked for their welfare and that of the entire human family. Had the first pair stayed within the limits of God's laws, all would have been well. In fact, we would now be living in a wonderful paradise of pleasure as a loving, united human family! There would not have been wickedness, suffering, and death.
