I've spotted some of of God's mistakes. Do you agree?

Question

One, his expectations of mankind.  God, who made mankind, with our weaknesses as part of his design, gave us a temptation too great for us in the garden of Eden.  So we ate from the Tree of Knowledge as he well knew we would.

Second, he knew Cain's weaknesses in the Cain & Abel story.  Then we went & rejected Cain's offering.  No one likes having a present thrown back in their face, yet this is just what God did with Cain.  If it happens to you this Christmas you'll know the feeling too.

Then when Jesus was about he had Jesus destroy the fig tree for not bearing figs out of season?  But how could the fig tree oblige?  It was an unfair expectation.

Peter denied Jesus three times, then repented & was forgiven after the event.  Judas also repented after his betrayal, but Judas (literally) had hell to pay.

To give another analogy (deliberately crazy, but it makes the point) if you have a Relaint Robin car & drive it down the motorway at 80mph the car will most likely overheat & blow up.  It will fail anyway. 
 So should the car then be punished when the expectations put on it were way over what it was designed & built to be?

Yes, it's easy to say God isn't real & that religion is silly.  Many non believers do say that, & I accept their points.  But I'm not looking for that type of answer here.

I'm asking believers for their explanations for the examples I've given above.  Especially since God knows all our weaknesses and what it's REALISTIC to expect from us.

God is always fair and everyone always has a choice to do or not to do something.
God will never test anyone with more then they can handle.

1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God 
is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the 
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

God absolutely must be what the bible says.  Absolutely.

God is.

But depends on BIAS, what you think, see, mine, too.
But mine is backed, yours is not.

You do know there are many people, (me among them), that are neither Christians nor atheists, am I right? And that there are even Christians, and Jesus followers at large, who do NOT interpret the Bible literally? Plus many other ways of seeing God / divinity, such as deism, pantheism, panentheism, pandeism, polytheism, or.. any combination of anything, really.

I do still think many of these are good questions, though. And I know there are also many Biblical literalist Christians out there! To whom contemplating this might be a very, very good thing, that could potentially help open their minds. So... kudos to you. Just: remember that's not all there is to spirituality / religion / theism, people. ;)

Almost all false, and stupid too.

Weakness or strength are not even relevant. We are in HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS.
