Why didn't God create us exactly like him?

[Eloy Craft]

Jeronimo890, you are getting there my brother. God created man to love. Love never turns inward it is always outward. The Holy Spirit is a clear running river that flows from the Throne of God. No other reason than that. God's love created man in His own image and likeness to be a material extension of His love.

The serpent offered an image of an alternate and false good. A good that the senses would judge as good not the intellect or spirit would call good. When Adam ate this false good that didn't come from God, the will of Adam and Eve became conflicted in the choosing of the object of good. The object of the will is the good. After choosing a good that a body of death would choose the will was informed of two opposing objects of the good. One is God's good and appeals to man's spirit, the other is Satan's offering of good which appeals to the flesh. This caused a permanent change in the relationships of body to soul Adam to Eve and Man to earth and man to God. The powers of nature became hostile to man, Adam and Eve became hostile to one another and the body became hostile to the soul. All this because the proper order had been rejected. God had revealed Himself to them in as much as they could know Him. What more could God do to prevent them from sinning?

God created Man as master of himself. God created Man as co-creater of the world. This is all part of being in God's image and likeness. After God created Man, Adam and Eve got their turn to create Man. Listen to what Eve said when Man created Man,

Genesis 4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

Well we know how that turned out. But Adam and Eve were learning and read what Eve said when Seth was born. Seth was in the image and likeness of his father. Seth's son was the first to invoke God. Man is creating Man much better,

5 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

Notice God isn't second mention and her offspring is not called 'a man' The proper order is being restored.

Except for Adam and Eve, we are all the products of human will.

God does not answer "why" questions!

Psalm 145:3
Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is unsearchable.

Romans 11:33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

Here's the creation:

Genesis 1:27
God created manKIND in His own (SPIRITUAL) image, in the likeness (CHARACTER) of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Genesis 5:2
He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

Matthew 19:4
And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female,

Like any good murder mystery, you have to investigate to find the motive. In your investigation of God, you hopefully find that it changes you in unexpected ways. This then allows you to know more of whom you are and why you are.

God does not answer "why" questions!

Thanks Ron. I like the "To the Praise of His Glory" answer. Most people (believers and no-believers) don't like to hear that so I don't throw it out there early.
