If god is perfect, why did he make man so flawed?

Wouldn't a perfect being strive to make his creations equally as perfect? Man seems to be extremely flawed in nature. Was this carelessness on god's behalf or just flat out laziness?

Surely he would have worked out all the kinks and bugs in the first 2 prototypes before sending man into mass production.

    God is probably a couch potato. You know, he procrastinated creating us so we came off sub-par

    As a baby is in its infancy unflawed and loved by its parent, so was the loved creation of God which was Adam and Eve. Of all His creations there was but one gifted with the ability to reason, to think and not act based on primal instinct, given dominion over all else and given the ability to choose. This ability to choose is what differentiates us from the rest of all of Gods creations. While all are magnificent in scope we have the ability to choose to do either the right or the wrong thing. This "flaw" in our character is often times our greatest strength, because our ability to choose different paths is what helped forge our own uniqueness. The old timers always say "God don't make no junk". This is true, because God knew that he wanted man to love Him of his own free will. God wanted man to turn to Him of his own choosing. This wasn't carelessness, nor was it laziness, this was just another example of His great love for us. Simply put we are the way we are because He loves us that much. As the bible says "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good."

    The other day I passed a BMW by the side of the road that was setting in a cloud of blue oil-burning smog, the doors were falling off. The side was dented. The back bumper was held on by a wire coat hanger. I am reasonably certain that BMW did not design that car that way. It is the results of negligent and abuse by the owner.

    When you look at man, realize that you are looking at a model which has suffered similar negligence and abuse due to sin. God did not design or build them that way. Man's refusal as a race and as individuals to follow his instructions have resulted in the damage that you see.

    Thats why this world is much more intersting to live. Dont you think so?

    Suppose your freind told you he was going to meet you today at 4pm and it is very important for you. but he might make it on time or not since he is not perfect. its just an example .. may be not a good one. but that kind of uncertainity .. not perfaction makes thing interesting.

    Wow, you're so profound. Actually, chemical evolution is why we are so full of flaws. All those molecules bouncing around in a big balloon house and "poof", out came a flawed human being.

    Yes, chemical evolution is the actual answer and all those who know this truth are so smart, because they actually got a couple extra molecules upstairs.

    Ah, your statement reveals exactly the reason for what you say.

    That was wisdom of God. Had He made Humanity perfect, it would have been terrible. Just think that they sinned due to pride, one of the most hateful sins to God.

    Had they been perfect, it makes me shudder just to think what could have been

    u little devil with Horn's . dont scare children with ur pic,,,,, anyway....

    Look horn boy .. God didnt creat man or anything as they are , he let them evolve......

    He made electron and proton , they intracted with themself and made hydrogen ,, since Hydrogen was not stable it reacted with each other and helium was formed. and so and and on and onnnn .. even life came with intraction's of atom's , molucules .... that is the reason it took billion and billion year's to form a complex Life for non living thing to living thing. it took billion's of year's.... God created thing's but he never interfer's in the intraction's of thing's ,,, God let's thing's evolve...... i guess u heard of evolution

    that is the reason we have free will , so that we evlove.....

    Every thing in this universe has freewill ... atom's ,,,,,, proton's electron's they move in any direction they like and it's up to them how they intract with each other and what they evolve into........

    and if atom's and molucle's came together and made themself into an imperfect human then its not his falt they evolved in wrong way......

    but u know horn boy.... how human function's?? how complex his mind is?? how he as thing's in his body which fight virus and bactria? how he creat's hormon's at exact period of time intreval's? so in many many way Human is perfect but his deed's are not perfect.. and God has notting to do with his deeds how he Intract's ...

    peace..........

    Well first off who said God was perfect? And everyone is who they are. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Sorry you feel that you are flawed. Sounds like an insecurity to me. The men in my life are not flawed. My father was as equally perfect to my mother and my husband is equal to me. Well I could go on and on but I won't bore you.

  • Disagree; God made man and told him how to avoid many problems. However, man did not listen to him (then, and often now), but someone else (Satan) (garden of Eden).

    And why create us with a defunct pheromone system? It seems to me he was either dyslexic when it came to drawing plans or he was in an alcoholic daze.

  • First of all it's God..

    It's man fault we are not perfect, if you TRIED to read the bible and read about Adam and Eve it would say how they sinned against God and they tried to hide it making the future human race born in sin.

    If you don't understand it. OH WELL!
