Think about the story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit.

The Christian would day that god is omniscient and omnipresent.

Why would god create Eve to deceive Adam and completely f--- the human race? If God knows all and knows about everything before it happens then why would he create the forbidden fruit in the first place. This proves in itself that God is the author of evil. Also, logically, this means that God created a situation to kill His own Son. And last, He knew beforehand the countless numbers of people who were going to end up in hell so why did he create a hell in the first place?

Oh yeah, and since he knew people were going to "become overwhelmingly evil" why did he create them in the first place knowing beforehand he was going to have to destroy them with a flood?

Is God really that loving?
 
Why do you think those two trees were in the garden? Did God not know what they were going to do? Of course He did. You don't have to be a god to see this one coming. You put two pieces of candy in front of a toddler and say, "You can eat this one but not that one. I'm leaving the room now and I'll trust you." Which piece is going to be gone when you return? Do you need to be omniscient to figure it out? God gave us the choice of eternal life as His side kicks or infinite knowledge to become like Him. Which one did He showcase, draw all the attention to? In order to become like your parents, you must eventually turn away from them and grow on your own terms. You must learn what they already know and learn how to use it. God made us to be as gods. We were meant to be like Him, but we have to grow into it.
 
God is non judgemental so gave people the free choice to do things how they wanted, i.e. good way or bad way, they f***ed it royally! so as he loves humans so much he sent his own son to die for us as only he is perfect hence only he could save us.
 
I'm not a Christian, but I'm somewhat familiar with this story, so I'm just going to dive right in here, if I may.

There's this notion going around that's got to do with the notion of free will. That is, you could assume that because God is all powerful, everything in the world has been predetermined by him, and that it's just playing out, like a movie. The thing is that a lot of Christian denominations reject this determinism, and postulate that humans have the power to make decisions for themselves.

If this is the case, then as far as the Fall of Man is concerned, Adam and Eve would have had the power either to eat the fruit or to not eat the fruit, rather than being programmed by God to do one or the other. Thus, because they chose to eat the fruit, wh
 
God knows and you don't know, gods plan . for God is all mighty all knowing and humans cannot comprend gods plan because god did not give us this supream know how to understand his plan for now just be happy god is mericfull to you…
 
God is not telling us the whole reason why He has done what He has done. There is more to this story then we are being told and it will be revealed to mankind over time by God.
 
Ti*6:4
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
1Ti*6:5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
 
the forbidden fruit thing is simply a plot device to get the story going
without it there would have been no "fall" and and primitive man would have had no explanation for the hardship he endured
 
An Omniscient God sees how everything will end and have willed to do everything that we consider as wrong. But of course everything is unfolding according to His plan so that even the evil that we see will turn out to be good in the end. I am sure that if you can see what God sees in His perspective of eternity, you will agree with Him.
 
you have a lot of questions...Zeitgeist, Zeitgeist Addendum, Religulous...watch them!
