This is a really stupid question. Are you being deliberately obtuse? Or just trying to create a rationalization to justify your own lack of God in your life? You have the power to do many things, you could get up tomorrow and give your life savings, possessions and wealth to the next homeless wino on the street, but will you do it? What would the wino do but buy more wine with it? Why would God make us all perfect like Him? Then we would BE Him. There would be nothing but Him, no us. Did it ever occur to you that we are who we are and in the position we are for a reason? Perhaps due to our own actions, and for our own needs? Your question sounds that that of a child asking: "Daddy, why must I work to attain wealth and things when the bank or government could just give them to me while I sit on my own fat ass doing nothing!" Maybe the work in getting from the imperfect place we are now to the perfect position of God IS THE THING--- the work is what gives us the achievement and attainment to knowing and being more Godlike.If God has the power to do anything imaginable and knows all things, certainly He would have the power to make us to be exactly like himself. Certainly He would know how to make us perfect like himself, and if He truly loves us, then he would certainly make us to be the best we could be. So why did God create us as imperfect sinful beings instead of perfect beings just like himself?
You are obviously confused and do not understand. Just consider that maybe we are what we are through our own actions and choices.Some have answered this by saying that God gave us free will and because of this mankind has chosen to be imperfect. However, this does not really answer the dilemma. If God created us to be perfect like Himself, then we would make perfect choices given that we are created to be perfect even as God is perfect. Does God have free will? Does God make bad choices?
