Sure He could but then how would we know that we were happy if there weren't bad days, bad attitudes? You can't have have happy without sad; you can't have peace without war; you can't have loud without quiet. There must be a foil for everything. If it is all happy, how would we know?
He could but He made it perfect the way it is now.

You're right you would know the difference. you would know between right and wrong, happy and sadness, pain and pleasure, and much more. Part of life is to experience good and bad so we can really appreciate the good. For example, who takes care of a car more, one who was given it by parents, or one that had to work hard to get it. If we didn't know good and bad we wouldn't need God, and if we didn't need him then he wouldn't exist.
Satan had a plan exactly as you suggested, but God wants us to learn and grow not be like mindless drones.The more we learn and grow the more we are like him and we can return to him. We can't go back if we don't understand him. Sorry but your theory is very flawed; not only does it take away choice, but also learning and understanding

If he had to yet that's no longer the element whilst he facilitates his people to go through because of the fact they p.c. to ignore approximately his warnings he's nearly a father who warns his toddler of the unfavourable aspects of drug use. the youngster will grown and has unfastened will and could make his very own determination the youngster can head his fathers regulations and warnings and stay a life freed from drugs and dependancy. the youngster can refuse to pay attention and grow to be an addict. the daddy did no longer reason his toddler to grow to be a slave of drugs, the daddy could ought to allow this toddler go through the end results of his determination in life form. the daddy is loving and forgiving so whilst the youngster is waiting and says dad i'm sorry I ought to have listened to you and prevented this mess i'm in, then the daddy says here i will help unfastened you from this slavery. If the drug broker does not prefer to allow the addict pass to sparkling up his life the daddy being retaining over his now repentant son could ask 2 or 3X's, the daddy could argue and finally dad could call the police and a shoot out ensues killing the drug broker... None of it fairly is the dads fault and if the drug broker needs to combat then what ever happens is on the drug sellers head. it fairly is the comparable with God as a loving father he asks us to no longer do issues for our very own wellness benefit and well being. whether, God gave freedom of determination we can do what we choose. If we get ourselves into worry we must be waiting to precise regret you have been proper and please help me. we can't blame God whilst somebody annoying circumstances his love for his people he calls his infants. God will preserve people who call on him

With God anything is possible except unholiness. To make us without free will and make us think we have free will would be deceitful. Deceitfulness is unholy.

God does not exist to make us happy. We exist to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever!

God probably could do what you suggest.
However, just because one can do something, does not mean they are obliged to do it.
No?
