If God is all powerful, all knowing, and an all loving God, then why didn't he create us to be perfect?

If God is all powerful and can do all things, surely he would be able to create a perfect being who has all power, all knowledge, and is a perfectly loving being. To say that he cannot create such a being is to admit that God is not all powerful.

If God is all knowing surely he has the knowledge to create a perfect being and to give that perfect being a perfect knowledge.

If God is an all loving being who loves his creations then he would surely want the best for his creations. He would want his creations to be perfect. Thus he would create us to be perfect. Even in a world or universe where free will exists, if God created us to be perfect, then we with our perfect knowledge could surely reason out that we should choose good over evil always and never make a bad decision. We would be created with a heart filled with love for our fellow beings and our own creations. God would spare us the evil we experience in this world as we would have started out from creation as perfect beings never to commit any act that is contrary to what is right and good.

So why didn't God simply create us to be perfect?
 
Keeping in mind that I am not a Christian, so don't expect a response based upon anything biblical.

When you were in school, in which classes did you learn the most. The tough classes or the easy ones?

If you were created perfect, you would not need to learn because you would already know all things.

Probably because there is no God.

Why create anything?
 
Why create anything?
Don't people who create anything do it out of love?

Not always ...

Well, I guess life just sucks.

The question is obviously a philosophical question for the theist. Your response is what the question expects you to conclude. What I am looking for is a great response from a theist.

According to Judeo-Christian tradition, he did. We were given free will, and fucked up.
 
Any chance you're a parent? A husband & wife 'create' their kids, they think they're perfect little angels. They teach them all the right & good stuff...….


But them little buggers soon turn faster than a top to all the parents tried to protect them from.


Same premise, just on a much grander scale
