Why did God create us defected?

The sin concept in religion is the way that control is maintained!\n\nIt's a bit of a paradox!  Sin came about as the result of Adam and Eve gaining knowledge of good and evil.  However without knowing good and evil they could not have freewill.  The ability to make a choice is based us knowing good and evil.\n\nThe fact is God set us up to fall!  After all God is all knowing and everything fulfills the will of God!  So it was God's will that everything that has occured would occur!  God is the ultimate control freak!!

If God were perfect, would he have created a flawed world which causes great disappointment to himself?

It doesn't mean we are created in his actual physical form, it refers more to our very existence, or our spirit. Parts of us hint at what God is like, but of course because of sin we are a stained image.

God does not judge anything ever so God does not see the world in terms of right and wrong.\n\nThese ideas are our creations and we try our best to create a God as confused as we are.\n\nLove and blessings Don

It is written that God gave man the power of reason,,and the power to question his own creator,,,,,so the answer could be,,,that human kind,,,was been given limitless power to interfere with Gods will.\nthe more we question,,,the closer we get to God.

Well, it isn't a fallen creation, but a creation that fell.  Have you ever cooked something following exact directions, but it turned out awful.  Now imagine that God created the universe (according to the beliefs you suggested) without using any known recipe.  What are the chances that one or more of his creations would turn out less than perfect, for instance man.  Thus, God didn't create us to be fallen, but to be perfect, and someone in the beginning of mankind's life, screwed up big time.\nAre some of these people SERIOUS!  And all of you atheists and anti-religion people, go answer some questions that concern your realm of knowledge.  The asker is obviously religious, so telling him not to believe his beliefs is just obnoxious and tactless.

The creation was corrupted by sin.\n\nRomans 8\nFor the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

we are here for a purpose, each of our purposes are different but are linked...God created the earth and everything in it...God(the higher power u stated)seeks our hearts, but many times we are too busy, we just ignore him, or we don't want to listen...and that's not my personal opinion...below are some verses to back up wat i said...

Because God breathed His life into us.  He created us because the Bible teaches us the God IS love not just that HE has love and in order for love to made complete, it needs something to love and not only that, it requries the object of its affection to have the capacity to respond and to return this love at an equivilent level.  That is why were created in His image and likeness.  You would never love something that couldn't return or respond to your love would you?  This was the purpose of the whole creation.  The universe and this world were created to be a suitable environment for us the objects of His love to be able to survive in.  You wouldn't have a baby without first buying a crib or clothing or supplies would you? (only the responsible parents out there need answer) And so Worship is our natural response to God, worship is us returning love towards God because He first loved us.  Worship is not only singing and dancing.  All that is great and needs to be done but we must realize these things are only a result of worship. they are not the definitions of worship.  Worship is our response to God and His love and when you truly know what His love is, the natural response is joy, peace, singing, dancing, shouting, celebration and so on and so forth.....  So one day all of creations will know and realize who God is, and even the beasts of the field will worship Him. How much more then should we as humans His greatest creation know who He is and worship Him.

God created the universe. He made man and woman in His own image. ("In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." -Genesis 1:1) ("So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." -Genesis 1:27)\n\nHe loves us and desires a friendship with us, but we have turned our backs on Him (the one who made us and gave us so much) and have sinned. (For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23).\n\nGod is just, so He has to punish us for our sins. If there was no punishment for our sins, this world would be completely chaotic. (Picture a world w/o law enforcement for example). The punishment that we deserve is eternal separation from God (death). ("For the wages of sin is death. -Romans 6:23a).\n\nGod is also merciful, and He doesn't want to punish us b/c He wants a friendship with us. So He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross to take the punishment for our sins that we deserve. ("But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23b).\nJesus not only died, but He also rose from the dead after 3 days, gaining victory over death. ("In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." -1 Peter 1:3b)\n\nIn order to receive forgiveness for our sins, we have to admit that we are sinners, repent for our sins, turn away from living sinful lives, and accept Jesus as our Savior (Basically allowing Him to take the punishment for our sins). \n\nIf we don't allow Jesus to take the punishment for our sins, then we have to take the punishment ourselves, and spend eternity away from God (hell). If we do accept Jesus, then we get to do the exact opposite: Spend eternity with God (heaven).\n\nPS. When we receive forgiveness from Jesus (a free gift), the Holy Spirit becomes a part of our lives. He continually helps us to change and grow to be more like Jesus. It's not always easy being a Christian (in fact, it can be very hard), but I wouldn't give up my relationship with God for the world. I love the Lord, and I would be nothing without Him. God bless...

because that how God created us.

God created man through His Son Jesus Christ.  We were formed from the Earth and made in God's image.  He then blew the breath of life into us that we became a living being, body and spirit.

Only God knows well. We are created by Him.We don't know the hidden truth of God.Best thing we can do is - Pray .\nIn the other hand modern science says - Its a natural calamity.

We come from God. He creates and forms us in the womb and gives us our spirit. We are here to experience good and evil and decide which is best. We have a free will to decide where we go next. If we seek God we will find him.

I think God created us so we can evolve.

Because the very nature of God is love, he made man in order to have a being on which to shower the wonders of his glory. The existence of God is not, nor ever was, dependent on man's righteousness (or lack of...) Technically, he could've just let himself chill out in heaven for all eternity and not even bother with us. But that's divine love for you.\n\nAmazing grace.
