As God already knows everything, he knew we would fall from Grace, so why did he bother to create us?

I've often asked this and NEVER had a sensible answer.
Every 'answer' is based in FEAR of upsetting the imaginary cosmic primate ;)

I give this answer before reading any of the others, yes god did know we would fall from grace, but then he gave us the greatest gift of all 'free will' I am sure you must have heard many times by now god is not all only all knowing but all merciful. We make mistakes we fall from from grace, repentance is an act of Freewill, return to grace. It all about will and intent but remember there are some thing god will not forgive.

God did not create us, God created Adam, Adam turned away from God, then all
he had to give his off-springs is the imperfections of sin that after a short life, ends
in death,"As in Adam all die, even so in Christ, Shall all be made alive," heavenly
first, Rev.20:1-6, earthly next, Rev.20:12,13, after the 1000 years, all evil is gone,
Rev.20:7-10[19:20], Rev.20:9, evil humans devoured, Rev.20:10, Satan, the beast
and the false prophet are in the lake of fire, eternal life is in the new heavens for
the heavenly, and in the new earth for the earthly, 2Pet.3:13; Rev.21:1-5, the new
earth is cleansed, Rev.21:8, evil humans are devoured same as Rev.20:9, they
are to blame that they missed out on all that is promised.
So as you can see, humans are still in their day of creation, Psm.104:29,30, all
the off-springs of Adam come forth from the ground, just as Adam did, but they
no longer have the sin that Adam passed on to them, if they sin, or turn against
God and those loving God, as at Rev.20:9, those saints loving God in the 1000
year reign, are on the breadth of the earth, they are not harming anyone, but we
see what happens to those trying to do harm, as Satan has tried to do, all these
years, so they side with Satan, to be as he is, there is none else to blame but
self.

How dumb is that question, since He knows that there will be multitudes saved to share His life and glory?
And how exceedingly dumb is it to not want that?
It should be obvious that He will never deprive opportunity for salvation to any because of the wicked. The wicked cannot be allowed to deny opportunity for any to be saved, as the parable of the wheat and tares proves.
Poor Everard who says he has never had a sensible answer. It must be because he has no sense and cannot understand a sensible answer. The answer is obvious, and for the obtuse is even given in Scripture.

Who is "we", firstly? There are many who have made it a point to fall from grace because they have rejected the truth. It is true that we all fell from Grace. But, for those who truly love Him, He provided a way out of the hell that they would otherwise deserve. Christians are intended to be the best of His creation, with this in mind. Nevertheless, none of us are truly good by anything we have done, unless we have faith in Him and Him alone.

We were born in sin we must first reach grace to fall from it .Through sin we get tabulation and through that we get understanding

I know that can be mind boggling and hard for us mere humans to understand.
It's difficult to understand why God would create us knowing full well we would disobey Him, but yet He did create us and give us life none of us deserve because of our disobedience/sins.
However, He did create us and gave us life. Not only did He do that but He provided the way and only way so that everyone could live for eternity and not perish.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Notice the verse does NOT say, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not be tortured for eternity, but have everlasting life.
It very clearly says "should not perish" and contrasts it with BUT have everlasting life. The two outcomes are not....eternal life in torture OR eternal life in bliss...Rather the two choices are perish OR everlasting life.
So God has given us all two choices: To either choose DEATH or to choose LIFE.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Notice it does NOT say, "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and torture, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may be spared eternity in torture."

So yes it is mind boggling how God could create us knowing we would spit in His face and rebel, but yet giving us life we don't deserve but not only doing that but giving us eternal life which is definitely not deserved vs just destroying us all like we justly deserve.
