then why would he make a terrible sinful Earth? Why wouldent he just make a perfect world where we could all be happy? why would he send people to a terrible place place called "hell" just because we dident say some prayer. If he really exists and he is perfect why would he even ever make "sin"?

Last time I checked it was MAN who created sin. Not God. Rememeber the Adam and Eve story? They lived in paradise earth but God told them they could eat any fruit from any tree except one. They couldn't resist the temptation and did it, and that was the very first sin. Sin came along with death, lies, cheating, and all that stuff. And people don't go to Hell for not saying a prayer. They go to Hell for being bad people.

God made man with a free will. It was the man that brought sin into this world (Adam). Hell was made for lucifer and the fallen angels. But because of Adam's sin to disobey God and pride to be like God all those who do not believe in Jesus Christ will go to hell. It is by God's mercy that some will go to heaven and live with Him forever. Also, it is not the prayer that saves but the work of the Holy Spirit that causes repentance in your heart and belief in Christ.

ok first of all he didnt make a sinful earth and he didnt send ppl to hell becuz they didnt say some prayer.
he made the earth perfectly..but when the people he made on earth sinned by there own free will it caused the rest of the earth to be sinful for all gererations.
the only reason there is a hell is becuz one of his angels sinned and wanted to be like god. so he made hell to send sinners to. hell is only bad becuz God is not there.
since we are all sinners God sent his one and only son to live a perfect life and die an inocent death, and rise again to make us perfect. the only way to heaven is if we have faith in jesus christ as our Lord and Savoir.
He never made the world sinful. man kind made the world sinful
read the bible

God did not make a terrible sinful Earth. We could have lived in a perfect world, if not for our disobedience. God gave us a free will. It was through our (mankind's) freely chosen disobedience that sin entered the world, and what we see now is the consequences of sin. The wages of sin is death. Sin is not failing to say prayer.

You are describing the issue of theodicy; the argument for the justification of God, concerned with reconciling God's goodness and justice with the observable facts of evil and suffering in the world. Most such arguments are a necessary component of theism. Under polytheism, the problem is solved by attributing evil to a conflict of wills between deities. The solution is less simple in monotheism, and it can take several forms. In some approaches, the perfect world created by God was spoiled by human disobedience or sin. In others, God withdrew after creating the world, which then fell into decay.

Sin is the absence of God. We chose to live in a Godless world. He did create a perfect world, man chose to ruin it. Example, if I made a perfect cake and gave it to you, then you stuck your hand in it and made a mess out of it, is it my fault that it was ruined.
God doesn't send people to hell! He especially doesn't send them there because you don't say a prayer. If you just believe in Him you will be saved.
Here's another example: You go to Disneyland with a golden ticket you paid $10000.00, you're very proud of this ticket, you hand it to the guy in the ticket booth and he tells you sorry, this ticket is worthless, but I'll give you this bloody piece of paper and that'll get you in. You're pee'd off, and indignant because everything you read, seen, done, says that this really expensive ticket you paid for with your own sweat and tears would get you in... You say, forget it bub, you can keep your ticket and walk away. Is it the ticket takers fault you didn't get to ride the Matterhorn?

God did make the world perfect in the beginning. Go back to Genesis with Adam and Eve. Man needed nothing but what was provided. God had given Adam and Eve abundant food, shelter, all they had to do was stay away from the tree of knowledge. Because they allowed the snake(devil) to talk them into doing what was told of them not to do, they allowed Evil into this world by doing what the devil told them and not God. Understand that God intended on this world being perfect, but at the same time allowing free will, which is what Adam and Eve used to disobey and eat from the forbidden tree, this also let in the bad things we have to deal with.

god didn't create hell the devil did. the devil was a perfect angel that GOD created. but the devil thought he was better than GOD so he left. GOD wants people to experience different feelings like hurt sadness happy cunfused all the essentials to learn about life if we were all perfect the world would have no reason to be here because it would be to perfect. Besides he didn't want people to sin we just do. he doesn't choose our destiny we do.

In the beginning of time when satan first rebelled against God, he told God that he could run things better on his system of letting people do as they wish, and letting evil exist so to prove to Satan and all his angels and anyone who was or is in doubt of him, he's letting satan run the earth for a period of time, he sent his son to die for all of us so that we may have a second chance and know right from wrong, the earth will one day be paradise, when the second comming happens we will have a thousand years of peace then we will be tested one more time, then satan will be banished forever.
Everything bad happens because of satan, and human sin. and what do you expect when people constantly push God away, and when he finally says fine do as you want, everybody crys about how cruel he is, so its not his fault, and his original plan was for us to live perfect, but the first sin messed it up for us all.

Your question brings us to a familiar notion. The 'goodness' of God is different in kind from goodness as we comprehend it. To say that God's 'goodness' is compatible with the worst disasters imaginable, is to empty this concept of its meaning. By human standards, the Christian God cannot by good. By divine standards, God may be 'good' in some unspecified, unknowable way - but this term no longer makes any sense. And thus again, we fail to comprehend the Christian God.
