God is said to have created us. We are suffering now because of our inperfections. Question; why did God give us imperfections?
It's like he created us in the full knowledge that we would do wrong, and yet he punishes us for it anyway. Kinda puts to death the idea that he's "all loving".
Dumb or what?

Difficult to answer. I only know that he gave man blindness to good and evil before eve picked the fruit. the question is.....would you rather be blind to the truth or not? can you handle the truth in a way that pleases God?

I can answer this question only based on my opinion and I will not try to justify it from the scriptures.
My personal belief is that
1. God does not know everything that we will do although he knew our spirit before we were even conceived in the womb. It is only logical to me that if he knew everything ahead of time, he would have stopped Lucifer from defying him in heaven...and would not have loosed Lucifer on the earth.
2. As to the creation of desire in us...again, it is only logical if you want someone to be fruitful and multiply, you will want them to have the desire to do so. The one big difference between the desires he gave to the animal kingdom and those he gave to humans is that he also made us capable of love. (The desire to do for others rather than ourselves). Animals do not have this ability.
3. Man was created perfect physically and was destined to live forever. However man's decision to follow Lucifer (the serpent) rather than to continue his personal relationship with God put a wall between us and God. Thus, Jesus. It is God's way of giving us a second chance. He has learned through experience that threats do not work, nor does fear of reprisals. (going to hell) It is love for Him and love alone that can once again make us perfect in his eyes.
Not preaching doctrine here...just my personal belief.
Seek God, and He will lead you.

to test us. say you hired someone and you want to see if that person is good for being a manager, so you hire him as a clerk and then test him , test his patient, his attitude, and his motivation. then you move him up to be a manager.

Everytime my bowels move I think about how "perfect" our intestinal system is.
