Why can't God make the world good again like it was supposed to be?

The world was originally perfect, but, sin entered the world, right? So if God can do anything and everything why can't God return the world to its original perfect place? Why did He just let the devil "win" and keep the world bad? And why did God create us? So He can have millions of people love Him just so he doesn't feel lonely? I'm confused

    Just as a child raised by good parents can become rebellious, God's first human creations became rebellious. Their rebellion has caused everything we see today.

    The world of Noah's day grew so ungodly that God had Noah build a gigantic vessel for survival from the deluge (flood). At that time things were so bad that Jehovah (God's personal name) felt hurt at his heart and felt regret that he had created humans. Genesis 6:5-7 The flood destroyed all wicked ungodly people then, and Armageddon will rid the earth of all ungodly wicked people soon.

    Yes, this earth will be cleansed of all wickedness. The time is coming, soon, when Jehovah will again have only righteous meek people dwelling here on this beautiful planet. Revelation 11:18 and Psalms 37:10,11, and 29 AND Matthew 5:5

    All man made governments will be gone. Daniel 2:44 Then, God's kingdom,with Jesus Christ as king, will make the way for righteous meek ones to come to perfection and every problem we face will be gone. There will be true peace and security everywhere on earth and Jesus' command at John 13:34 and 35 will be fulfilled. "I am giving YOU a new commandment, that YOU love one another; just as I have loved YOU, that YOU also love one another. By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves." Also Revelation 21:3 and 4

    God has set his appointed time for ending all suffering that Satan has and is causing the human family. It is a court case that is going on between Satan and Jehovah that will in the end prove that Jehovah is worthy to rule the human family. Satan called into question of who would be the better ruler of this earth. So far, man has tried every kind of government under Satan's rule. 1 John 5:19 and Revelation 12;9 Do you think Satan has done a good job of running the man made governments? By your question I see that you do not.

    About 8,000,000 and more who are studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses look forward to the kingdom Christ Jesus told us to pray for at Matthew 6:9 and 10 and the Kingdom that Daniel said would "crush and put an end to all these (man made) kingdoms" Daniel 2:44

    It is going to be restored back to the way it was at first originally perfect both the earth and man....this is why we have the Bible to show us what is going to take place...the Bible tells us what happened in the beginning and takes us up to the near future. Do not be confused it is really very simple...God created man ..man rebelled therefore we have sin and death, we are all sinners Romans 5:12. So man lost what was suppose to be life everlasting in a paradise like earth filled with all good righteous offspring. God has made a way for us to get that back through Christ. In the near future all traces of this wicked world will be destroyed and God's original purpose for the earth will then begin.

    Why did god create bad things?

    Here is the grammar rule. Who pulls the trigger, thats the killer, thats the subject, not the maker of the gun. Making a gun is not bad, using it in a bad way is bad. If someone uses the knife to cut bread, no problem with that. However, if he uses it to kill someone, it makes him bad. So creating bad things is not bad, doing bad things is bad.

    Why doesnt God stop bad people before they do the bad things?

    We are in a test. Thats the common belief in all religions. It can basicly be explained. There are 20 students in a class. Teacher gives them a test. He already knows who is gonna do great and who is gonna do bad. But if he says to lazy student, "OK. I know you are lazy so there is no need to give you a test. You get F. And you, hardworking student, you get A+". That lazy student will get angry.He will rise against the teacher. Or if the teacher gives the answers to all students before the test, he will be unfair to the hardworking student because he would get A+ anyway. but now the lazy student gets an A+ though he never deserves it. So we are in a test lasts ~60-80 years. God lets us do whatever we want, after life, who is hardworking, who is lazy will appear, the difference between these two groups will appear as well ...

    Read the words of your Creator found in the Holy Bible , the earth will be restored when Satan time is up and our Creator returns as Judge and why are people so selfish and want Judgment day < The Day Of The Lord> now and not give time for more people to come to Christ We are Soul that lives forever in a perishing body and God is not slow but wishing all to come to Christ for a thousand years is like a day to God and God created time and is not bound by His Creations like we are and your sarcastic remark at the end just tells me you are of your Father the Devil and your carnal emotions will fade but the words of our Creator will always be

    God's purpose is to do just that, return the globe we have now to it's original perfect place!

    Psalm 104:35 " The sinners will be finished off from the earth; And as for the wicked, they will be no longer. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise Jah, YOU people!"

    This is taught in the Hebrew scriptures and the Greek. Below are a few verses:

    (Psalm 37:38) But the transgressors themselves will certainly be annihilated together; The future of wicked people will indeed be cut off.

    (Psalm 101:8) Every morning I shall silence all the wicked ones of the earth, To cut off from the city of Jehovah all the practicers of what is hurtful.

    (Proverbs 2:22) As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.

    God’s purpose for the earth is that it be a paradise inhabited by a perfect, united family of the offspring of Adam and Eve. Much of the Bible is about God’s means of fulfilling that original purpose.

    Did you know the Bible is a written revelation from the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah to all people on this earth? This inspired book has global appeal, since it contains good news of a God-designed Messianic Kingdom that will establish peace and righteousness forever on a united Paradise earth. It shows that God lovingly provided a legal recovery from death for the world of fallen mankind by means of the ransom sacrifice of his Son Jesus Christ.—John 3:16.

    The rebellion in the garden of Eden brought a death sentence upon Adam and Eve and all their offspring, but God lovingly supplied hope. He sent his Son to the earth to provide what the Bible calls a ransom. (Matthew 20:28)

    What does that mean? Well, Jesus was “the last Adam”; he succeeded where Adam had failed. Jesus maintained his perfect human life by remaining obedient to Jehovah. Then he freely gave his life as a sacrifice, or ransom, providing the means for all faithful humans to receive forgiveness for their sins and eventually attain the kind of life that Adam and Eve enjoyed in Eden before they sinned. (1 Corinthians 15:22, 45; John 3:16) Thus Jesus guaranteed that Jehovah’s purpose to turn this earth into an Eden-like paradise will come true.

    For everyone who's not familiar with them, ask Jehovah's witnesses when they knock on you door, then ask your minister. See who can point to the scriptures and give Bible based answers.

    My preacher wouldn't answer my questions and I went searching for knowledge and when I found the ring of truth in my Bible I was "thirsty," for the truth and "hungry," and they fed me using my own Bible and now I try to help others by directing them to Bible truths.

    God’s promise for the future is a certainty, a reality soon to come. Will it be your future, your reality? Much of that is up to you. God wants that future for as many people as possible, even for those whose lives have gone wrong.—1 Timothy 2:3, 4.

    From the Futurama episode "Godfellas";

    God Entity: Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch, like a safecracker or a pickpocket.

    Bender: Or a guy who burns down a bar for the insurance money.

    God Entity: Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

    god has an appointed day when he will judge the world and end all evil and its coming soon. acts 17.31. 2 pet 3 reveals that god waits to finalize his plans so that evil men might repent so he doesnt have to judge them in their sin and condemn them. the restoration of jerusalem to the jews, luke 21.24 and 32 indicates that we are that final generation that will see jesus return. now is not the time to be discouraged. mathew 24 says to look up because your redemption is drawing nigh! groundwire.net

    It wasn't His choice. Man decided to take another path and turn away from Torah and the Fathers will.

    When man returns back to Torah then it will be good again, simple as that!

    He is hampered by the fact of his non-existence. Non-existent entities aren't capable of doing anything about anything.

    Making the world good, however you define that term, can only be accomplished by those who made it bad - us. ALL of us.

    And by the way, if you actually believe all of what you wrote - you really ARE confused!!

    Because of free will. He isn't going to force us too live a life of peace and harmony that choice has to be made by us. If he did make us do that then he wouldn't be perfect now would he?
