All angels were perfect until Lucifer. God LET him have his ways and let everyone else who wanted to join him, join him. He didn't let him go. Lucifer left.
Lucifer was cast out of heaven for pride. He wants the worship that is given to God, and tried once to get Jesus to worship him by offering him the world. Jesus told him "worship the LORD your God only".
Satan, the fallen angels, and all mankind have been given free will so that we are more than robots. God wants us to love him voluntarily just as a father desires love from his children, not because we are forced to. Forced love is not love at all.
Without Jesus's sacrificial death on the cross, there would be no way to have a relationship with God. Man sins and God cannot permit sin at all. So he gave Jesus to bridge the gap between a perfect God and sinful man.
If anyone has questions about this please respond.
My children know with all certainty that I exist and I dont leave them to ponder the fact. If god wants us to love him all hes got to do is act like a father.
Open your heart to God and you will learn that what you just said is irrelevant because you don't see the picture clearly.
God loves us. He allows things to happen a certain way because he wants to improve us as human beings. He acts as the best father that can possibly exist.
By placing blame on God, you are dissmising the fact that the devil has a place in the world too. Whatever happens to you, either bad or good, you have a choice or a chance to see how to best deal with the given circumstance.
You can either take it as a way to learn and better yourself through God's willing to show you the right way, or take it personally.
Anyway, once you decide how you want to perceive God, you will understand why he acts the way he does. Hence, by completely accepting God as our father, your eyes will be wide open from astonishment of finding out that God is love.
I hope that you don't take my comment as something against you. I am sure that I can understand why you would say that. I have been there too, and trust me, if you ever decide to get to where I am now you will not regret your decision.
Christians: If God is perfect then why...?
