if god is all powerful and didnt want us to sin he would not have put adam and eve in the garden of eden with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and especially would not have allowed satan the tempter to come near adam and eve. can someone explain the logic? if you can't explain the logic behind your answers please do not answer.

If everything is perfect - there will be no surprises.
so.
the perfect world is flawed.
It's that simple.

I can be perfect and things I make are flawed, that logic is off, why does everyone assume that If GOD is perfect then why would he create a flawed things, why not, if I am perfect, why would I want something equally as perfect, I wouldn't, I would see the beauty in flaws, from missing an ear, to a Lego creation that isn't perfectly color coordinated. You are forgoing that logic, you can play a computer game perfectly and get 100% but does that mean you couldn't play it perfectly, no you just choose the more difficult route.

there is not any flaw in God's purposes or creation. He is usual with of all issues. allowing loose will and imperfection additionally helps adventure, know-how, and private progression, in different words, to verify that his toddlers to acquire perfection, they could adventure issues for themselves. God can not adventure it for them. If God made Adam & Eve "suitable" such as you suggested, then they would not in any respect have chosen evil or stable and could under no circumstances have been evil or stable and would have been stopped from studying, progressing or doing something of any result with the aid of fact they does no longer be doing it, God would. Hebrews 5 8 nevertheless he have been a Son, yet discovered he obedience by the failings which he suffered; 9 And being made suitable, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him How does he make issues suitable? He instructions us to be suitable, yet he does no longer anticipate it in the present day or abruptly, yet he does anticipate us to attempt. He could no longer make us suitable with out annoying circumstances, suffering, imperfections, mortality, or obedience with the aid of fact then we does no longer being doing something yet being compelled to do it and then we does no longer be doing it , God would. Matthew 5 40 8 Be ye hence suitable, on a similar time as your Father that's in heaven is acceptable.

Let me give you an analogy. Let's say you're a talented architect, and you design a house that's "perfect". So somebody builds the house, and the next thing it gets hit by lightning and burns to a cinder. So, the house isn't "perfect" anymore. Does that make you any less of an architect?

we are all put on this earth to learn lessons and accumulate knowledge and experience in order to raise our level of consciousness and become more like our creator. that is the sole purpose of our existence. everything around us is there to teach us something and aid the learning process.
adam and eve were the very first people learning the very first lessons. its quite simple really, god created perfect humans, in his image, put them on his perfect earth and gave them their very first test - resist temptation. unfortuneately, being the humans that we are, it didnt take them long to make their first mistake and fail the test. both the tree and the devil were their to test them.
thankfully though, we're given many chances and many lifetimes to get it right.
i hope that makes sense to you.

Its hard to understand but it takes time to understand and learn gods purposes. Some people learn it fast but some take long to understand gods reason for doing stuff. For example some people learn to drive a car fast but for others it may take longer.

If God's primary goal was to find creatures that had a free-will, and purposefully worshipped Him with their whole hearts voluntarily, then how could He find those creatures?
They were given a test and they failed. This failed test will prove to them and the rest of us that we need God's Love and Mercy.
Once you see the Glory of God in all of this you too will fall on your knees and cry, "Jesus is Lord".
In your future you will worship Jesus Christ.

More to the point, why did god even need human companions? Especially faulty ones like us? He's supposed to be omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and immortal? Any being who possesses these characteristics should, by logical definition, not require the company of anything lesser. These traits mutually exclude the biblical definition of humanity...

Adam and Eve spoiled it all.....The earth and everything in it is cursed because of their sin.

first of all, faith doesnt need logic, that's why it's called "faith". God put us on this earth to overcome evil and share his love with everyone. he knows that evil is present but he wants us to strive to rise above
