Why didn't God create only the most moral individuals?

[Dan_Defender]

I’ve often thought about how what Eve should have done, was go back to God and tell him what the snake had said. Bring her confusion to God. Ask him about it.

I agree. Like Moses when he had an issue, went into the Tabernacle and consulted with God.

Why didn’t he create only the most moral human individuals

Why don’t you understand who and what’s God character is ? He didn’t want to create robots.

God has created bad people and good people without altering their free will. Why didn’t he create only the most moral human individuals so that the Fall wouldn’t have happened at all?

You might not make the connection with your question but here is a pertinent question that shed light on it:
What makes love real? What makes love possible?

The other thing is, you use the word “moral” as an equivalent to “perfect”.
Morality is the real time evaluation of human actions. Morality is something that plays out in the human conscience and free will. It’s not a static state of being.

So why then didn’t god make it easier to be moral? Either neuter Satan so much that he has little power, or make it near impossible for us to fall. That’s my question

Why do you think it is so ‘hard’ to be moral? Do you think that we only ‘fail’ because of Satan?

Do you think that people who have things easy tend to appreciate them as much as people who had to work harder for them?

And please, capitalize “God”. “God” is a proper name, therefore it is capitalized whether or not it starts a sentence. Thank you.

Why didn’t God “make love easy”? That’s the thing to ponder in answering your question.
Can you imagine a relationship of love that is predetermined and therefore “easy” and without risk?Would you want a love like this?
Why is love risky?

I might if it guaranteed salvation and being with God forever.

 

[GladTidings]

Because God is all knowing. There are things we do not, or cannot, know or understand. He call us each by name.

My opinion is, nothing is perfect, yet all humans were created good and according to God’s image. None of them is created bad, however, due to sin and temptation, engage to bad things. It’s not the humans who are bad in nature but our actions. Imagine a world with everybody being perfect, we will stand out of our pride and we can’t learn from these mistakes. God uses sinful people to show that He is merciful, He spares their lives despite this sinfulness and they also help us to learn from things and learn the moral lessons of life.

God just create a den for Jesus to be crucified by demons so that a non-fallen humanity could have a Church to receive grace in?

He wants us to realize that He is with us in our laughter, pain, suffering, and etc. His incarnation has brought us the hope that God is with us, He is willing to forgive and He humbled Himself down to His people to save them.

 

[EugeneCharles]

So why then didn’t god make it easier to be moral?

Why? We don’t know, we are not God to answer this question but for sure He did everything for a purpose, for us to feel beloved and not alone, I also doubt this, but I’m still asking God to make things clear.

 

[meltzerboy2]

Do you really believe Gd created distinctly good people and bad people, or do you believe that most people have some good and some bad in them, hopefully more good than bad? In other words, are there really two different kinds of people? And, more broadly, what is the Christian perspective on this?

 

[Gorgias]

So why then didn’t god make it easier to be moral?

He kinda did. The Church teaches that our first human parents had certain “preternatural gifts”, which means that they didn’t choose sin out of weakness or ignorance.

I might if it guaranteed salvation and being with God forever.

Perfect knowledge doesn’t guarantee particular results. You know that Jesus died for your sins, right? Does that guarantee that you’ll follow Him perfectly?

more broadly, what is the Christian perspective on this?

God doesn’t create people as individually ‘good’ or ‘bad’, per se, but each person has the opportunity to choose virtue or vice in the way he lives his life.
