How can people believe that God is perfect when HE created us and we are a bitter disappointment?

Question

Wouldn't His omnipotence eliminate the chance of a less than desirable creation.

The Bible portrays God as a fallable Creator and humans are the weak, unworthy result of His endeavor.

Why create humans as such weak and dependent creatures when even the lowly beasts suceed without intervention? How does human weakness honor our Creator?

Do you really believe that God made us with less self determination than the beasts of the Earth? How can so many beleivers have such little respect for our Creator?

Thanks

Our Creator equipped man witheverything we need to suceed as species, to believe otherwise admits that God is a poor Creator.

Whiny, begging humans do not honor the Creator.

Perfection is a human ideal and not of nature. If God is omnipotent and wanted us to be "perfect", we would be so. No human could make God's creation any way other than God commands it.

Are you saying we are superior to God, and that the first humans could hurt his work? God is not weak, if perfection where the goal, perfection would exist.

Sending a Christ to die for humanities sins, isn't that saying worthless humans need a Savior?

God is better than how the Bible portrays and it is sad to see how dogma diminishes our Creator and cripples the minds of followers.

We are exactly as our Creator would have us, no ancient curses, no blood sacrifices for atonement.

We are a living testament of our Creators Glory, I am heartbroken that relgions have convinced people otherwise.

Answer 1

The Biblical God was anything but perfect. He created Adam and Eve and a 'conniving snake' and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the supposed pristine Garden of Eden. According to the story neither Adam nor Eve had the comprehension of Good and Evil (right or wrong). Perhaps they should have know that it was 'bad' to eat from the TKGE. Telling them not to really doesn't cut it if they weren't given the ability to make a knowledgeable decision.

Also, a perfect God would not design for failure.

And, there was no Satan in the Garden of Eden.

Answer 2

By making us the way we are actually proves His perfection. Though it is beyond our grasp to understand everything about Him we are part of a perfect plan.

God wants decision makers. He didn't mass produce robots. He created thinking, feeling, human beings in His own image. Being creatures whom can choose right or wrong is a result of this. We are as free to love Him, as we are free to deny Him. That's what makes us so special.

Part of His perfect plan meant also that He would make a personal sacrifice for us. This proves His eternal and infinite love for His creation. And when all is said and done there will be no more debate. It will be as clear and bright as day.

Answer 3

God created Us as Perfect Beings for a way to solve the Angelic Conflict, which everyone seems to be ignorant of. We in our Arrogance seem to think it's all about Us!!! NOT!!! We Chose to Sin, as God knew we would, and Before Time, as we know it, Gods' Perfect Plan also included Christs' Death for the Remission of our Sins so that we could be with God Forever. I don't know what "Bible' U are reading, but mine portrays God as THE SUPREME INFALLIBLE BEING of the Universe as we can understand it. A lack of "Respect" for our "Creator" lies with the Ignorance of Mankind due to a Failure to Study the "Word of God" and the Active Cultivation of Mankinds Arrogance, by Satan, in believing that Mankind is the "Supreme Being" instead of the "Creation"!!! Mankind can "Create Nothing"!!! God "Created Everything" out of "NOTHING", let's see "Mans Science" do that shall we??? John

Answer 4

God made Adam & Eve perfect, no sin, whatsoever, but that serpent that was inticed by satan cause Eve to have a relationship with the serpent which was a upright creature, Until God cursed him. Therefore concieving Cain. & Eve saw that this relationship could also be used for pleasure other then just waiting for God's perfect time to reproduce another offspring that would have eternal life, Therefore she went to Adam with this knowledge of good & evil, Up until that time, Adam & Eve was perfect.

Answer 5

Nothing on earth that has the breath of life in them exists without God. To admit my weaknesses is saying that I believe God is greater than my shortcomings and is able to deliver me from them when I trust Him with my life. Just the fact that it was God in the first place that created everything is proof enough that He deserves our praise. It wasn't God who sinned, it was man whom He created with a free will, who willingly chose to disobey Him.

Answer 6

We were created in the perfect spiritual image of a perfect God. You're referring to the flesh and blood man, Not the true spiritual man.

Answer 7

When God first created the earth he created humans as perfect, but then sin entered the world he understands that we are not perfect but that is why he sent his son.

Answer 8

Some of us believe that GOD put the tree of knowledge where man would 'touch' it and sin because that was the only way for man to really know just how much GOD loves us.

Answer 9

We were created perfect in the sense that we were sinless (Adam and Eve were), but we were also created for the purpose of having a relationship with our Father. How could that relationship, that love, be genuine if it was forced upon us? If we were preprogrammed to love him and be perfect? That wouldn't only be imperfect, it would be cruel. Because God is perfect and righteous he created us with free will and the capacity to turn away from him if we choose. So when we choose to love him and turn to him, it's real. I choose to love him.

Answer 10

God created humans according to his image. He wanted true followers not zombies. That's why he made us choose to follow him or not. So being a Christian was our own decision not a forced one.
