Why would God create people that could not make sense out of Him and what He is like?
A good question. Perhaps asking god would net the best answer as I'd like to know as well?
Unless, of course, humanity is on par with god. In that case, it's a none issue
that is not reasonable.
So it would seem. But there's a lot of things in the bible that's not reasonable that people accept by faith. Pick your poison.
He created Adam perfect, with perfect faculties, and was "in God's image" having the attributes of love, power, wisdom and justice.
While some christians may say that's debatable, it would make sense. But then, god allow satan to come and through a monkey wrench into the whole thing. Then gets upset about it and throws the guys out, and on and on and on. Unreasonable.
Yet accepted by believers.
Jehovah wanted very much to have a relationship with humans, as anyone can see who reads through the entire Bible.
Some would say. The bible is also full of god killing people and animals because it gets a bee in its bonnet.
Unreasonable.
Yet accepted by believers.
Adam rebelled and sin and death were introduced into the world, but we still have the capabilities to understand basic things about our Creator.
If you consider what some long dead man said about god, then sure. But it's ALL opinion. Everything written about god in the bible is opinion, edited and translated over and over again (let's not forget the books written about god that some men thought weren't 'of god' and thus, not including in the modern bible; Oh and the other works of other 'christians' claiming to be 'of god' like mormons and JWs seem to have). If you're OK with that, great! Just know not everyone falls in line with that way of thinking.
