/——/ He obviously didn’t create us as perfect as himself. He did give us free will. Why are you harping on this? You sound like an atheist looking to undermine our faith.
Your dulmbness grows apace... So you DO accept the Bible as the Word of God BUT you think it proves that it isn't the Word of God
Look at your OP question, and read it again.
You know if you are going to impugn the intelligence of another person you should really make an effort not to misspell words.
Only because we have developed the ability to recognize species before another could appear. Evolution has not stopped.
No, we simply interpret it differently.
I think that is a very false assumption. We make bad decisions because of a lack of knowledge and understanding or we are not controlling our passions and desires. It is however possible for us to gain a greater knowledge and understanding and make free will choices to live by a greater knowledge and understanding and to control our passions and desires. Its a free will choice that we can make and this is the reason God commands us to repent and forsake our sins and keep his commandments.
The quest for perfection is not a losing game. God has commanded us to be perfect. He does not give commandments that cannot be fulfilled by us. Right and wrong can be subjective at times but in the overall it is not subjective. God gives us commandments that as a general rule are not subjective truths. God also can guide us through his Holy Spirit into all truth and thus in rare situations He can always lead us in the path of righteousness. We own our free will choices. We don't have to choose evil. However, we aren't perfect while here on earth and before coming to a perfect knowledge and understanding of right and wrong, we can make mistakes. God expects us to stop being ignorant and learn his ways. By studying his ways and following his spirit, you can overcome your ignorance and evil desires and become like God. God has made it possible to be forgiven for past mistakes as we take his gospel and apply it to our lives and strive to become more like him. We own our bad choices and through repentance and forgiveness of sins we can be forgiven and not have those sins held accountable on us in the day of judgement. Yes, we will be judged for the free will choices that we make. Imperfection is entered into by making bad free will choices. Perfection is entered into by forsaking bad decisions and using our free will choice to repent and and forsake our bad choices. Forgiveness for the bad choices is possible because God so loved the world that He gave his Only Begotten Son as a sacrifice for those sins. All we need to do is have faith in God and repent and seek after Him and you will be on the path of perfection. Sins are our fault because nobody is making us sin, we do it of our own free will and choice. Thus we are accountable for our choices and sins.
If you've read all my previous posts, I explained that God could not make us perfect. The process of creating intelligence living beings is by combining self-existing intelligence with self existing matter. I don't believe God creates out of nothing. I believe that is a false doctrine. I believe all life exists on a self-existing principle. Thus if God cannot create our intelligence, then cannot create it to be perfect. Our intelligence, at the time of birth, is in the state it has reached throughout eternity. God simply creates (organizes) self-existing intelligence and matter into living human spirits and living human bodies. That is how we are created. The process of combining these self-existing materials is through the process of procreation. Our spirits are the literal offspring of God our Eternal Father in Heaven. We are literally the offspring of God. Progression in God's vast kingdom comes by learning and understanding and applying God's will to our lives. We have the capacity to become like our Father in Heaven. This why Jesus commanded us to be perfect even as our Father in Heaven is perfect. God knew that when He placed Adam and Eve on this earth that they would fall and for this reason he called and selected His firstborn son Jesus Christ to be the Savior of the World before the foundation of the world.
One that knows all things and is capable of running a world filled with imperfect beings with a high degree of free will. If free will is critical for the progession of his children, what other option would he have than to remove them from this temporal existence if they use their free will to start leading many others down the path of destruction?
I am giving you the reason why God could not have created us perfect and thus needs to lead imperfect beings to choose good over eivl and make their lives more and more perfect through leaning, repentance, and forgiveness. Basically the answer to the problem I originally posted is that God could not create us to be perfect. It was beyond his power. Intelligence is self-existing and cannot be created or made and neither indeed can be. Thus if God could not create intelligence, then he could not create it to be perfect. He has take imperfect beings and teach them how to progress through their own free will and choice.
I do know the answer and it is in the post above. If you don't believe it, then that is your free will choice.
We'd be faster than cheetahs, stronger than grizzlies, see better than eagles, be able to fly. Not being able to fly is the big one. If we were his chosen species, we'd be able to fly. Admit it, we'd all love to fly. God didn't think of that? A bumble Bee can fly it's fat ass around but we can't.
/——/ No one said were created perfect. It’s just some narrative you’ve created.
Did you read the bible? God created Adam and Eve to live forever, knowing only good, not aging like now, never sick, in perfection. Alls they had to do was not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and bad. They rebelled because of satans lie, thus God let them have their way=mortals knowing good and bad, but aging, dying, sick, etc. Gods kingdom rule has promised to put it back the way God planned it to be to start with.
/----/ Nothing we post will ever convince you of our faith. Since it doesn't affect you, please just go away.
That is if you believe that God can do anything imaginable. I don't believe God can. I think that when we say that God is all powerful, that means that he has the power to do all that is possible. There are eternal impossibilities that not even God can do. I believe that God cannot create out of nothing. I believe that our intelligence is self-existing and was not created or made, neither indeed can be. Not even by God. I believe God uses self-existing intelligence to create life. Thus he could never create us to be perfect. In order for man to become perfect, he would need free will and choose of his own volition to abide by laws of perfection. This is why God could not create us to be perfect like himself. Mankind has to use his free will to progress to become perfect.
Right, I was trying to solicit responses as to why others justify why God did not make us perfect.
