You see God is supposed to know everything.So,he must have known ,what would become of us,even before we were created.Did he then intend us to be like this?? Even if you go into the 'free will" argument,God would have known what we would do with our lives.In case you are wondering,I am not an atheist.

For it to make sense, you have to truly understand who we are and why we're here.

We are literally God's children in the spirit. We are not just some toys He created to amuse Himself. Earth is school. We are here to gain a body to house our spirit, and to learn and experience mortality, and to develop faith, something that is only possible when removed from God's direct presence.

God gave us free agency to make our own choices, knowing that we would make mistakes, and fall down and skin our knees; knowing that some would turn into absolute terrors. Earthly parents see this in their children, it's a reflection of the bigger picture. We don't learn unless we go through trials. A coddled child who gets everything they want and knows nothing of hardship or consequences to actions turns into a monster.

God will pick us up when we make a mess of things, and He'll help us avoid a lot of those mistakes if we'll just listen and obey Him. But it is our choice to make. And Jesus's work was to bridge for us the enormous, insurmountable gulf between the best we can possibly be and God's perfection.

Because god didn't make people. People made god, and many other mistakes.

As you point out - The God concept is very paradoxical.

Oh well ...

When God created, What was it that He created with? Who is this "us"?
