Why did God need to test the nature of man and more specificly his mental disipline to subject to his lead? he just created mankind right? Is it possible for us to do anything but reflect our creator?

As a matter of fact it is easy to not reflect our creator, and many are doing just that.

Who thinks God's nature is unknowable? The scriptures say that the nature of the Creator is clear from the things He has created. The knowledge of God comes from God and anyone can get it from Him. In order to get this knowledge you have to earnestly seek God. That means being willing to accept the fact that He knows better than you do and to do what He leads you to do. This is the main issue that American's have trouble with. They want to do what they want to do so they are unwilling to listen to God, or even acknowledge that He, being God, knows better than they. So my answer is: Do you really want to know the truth???? If so you have to be willing to seek it and accept it over your own preconceived ideas and will. This is the truth. God created mankind. Mankind sinned and could not unite with the perfect God. The alternative to that is to fall prey to other, malicious beings less powerful than God by more powerful than mankind - that is the destruction that awaits the imperfect. The bad news is that if you sinned - ever - even once - you are not perfect. The good news is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived without sin, and faced suffering, death and destruction in your place. Since He was still perfect, death could not keep Him and He rose again. He offers the same salvation for everyone who would join Him. You can have that salvation, but it comes at the price of accepting Jesus Christ and all that entails. If your own will is more important to you than salvation you will not be able to do that. You will find a reason not to. But if you open your heart to begin the process, then the Spirit of God will lead you to its completion.

Good question. I don't believe that it is possible for us to do anything other than reflect the nature of our creator. Which is why I do believe that people can be born Gay/lesbian/transgendered (can't wait to see whose feathers I ruffle with this one). If God is the creator of mankind, and we are created in his image then who's to say that God isn't a hermaphrodite?

WOW you're one hell of a nut case, here's another story for you - once upon a time there was this fisherman called Bob, now Bob could never catch any fish, so he would go down the mungers and buy loads, and over the years people said that Bob was probably the best fisherman in the world, Ohhh how he laughed - What God ? there are so many to pick and each one is better then the next, I'm surprised that they don't do buy one get one free, there is no God, and if there was he would be a right bastard

Don't see any evidence that God is testing the nature of man. Man rejected the natural order of things by rejecting God as the rightful sovereign of the universe (just like rejecting gravity).
The Bible shows that God does not test mankind and does not bring anything evil to us. The one who is in opposition to God (Satan) does this and misleads the entire inhabited earth.

A typical idiotic leading question that you christians seem so good at asking (and answering) that leads someone to agree with your simple minded conclusion.
Man is a FREE AGENT and man was NOT created by some GOD... man EVOLVED over millions of years... THAT is why it's called EVOLUTION.

Adam and Eve can't have belly buttons because they did not have parents in a biological sense.

Because God didn't want to be worshiped by robots. He wants us to love Him because we want to. And man's nature is corrupt, so the only way we can be justified is in Christ.
God bless!
