If God knows everything...........?

The same reason why a writer writes a book - even though he knows how it will end. He and many others get pleasure from reading it.

The same with a movie producer. He is not going to spend millions producing a film just to leave it canned on the shelf. It was an artistic endeavor and people enjoy movies.

Same with God

Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Let me play devil's advocate:

God knew everything that was going to happen with creation because he created it. Ex post facto sort of deal.

Response:

There still no point to have created it all. The question posed here has no feasible refutation. The idea of God doesn't make sense in this regard.

Little Ole Me has it right I just want to add... remember the history of mankind compared to eternity is less than a nanosecond, so he basically just did what you asked, that also answers the question how a loving God allow for suffering on earth? etc etc etc.

That's why he gave us free will...to chooses good or bad....

Satan was once a good angel who chose bad...

Jesus also had free will and chose good.

To force a good or bad decision is to make us into robots...and is not thanks from a free thinking person better than a forced response.?

Jehovah God wants our thanks to him to be free of any pressure...so it becomes genuine.

god is a man-made being............//
